Hey there


just windering about what thickness I should get for 3 to 4 foot run. I have the panny bd35 blu-ray & 42pz77 plasma. Also because of the short run does the hdmi category matter? Looking to get from monoprice. Thanks

For a run that short, the size of the wire inside the cable really won't matter.

Therefore go for the more flexible cable -- 28AWG.

Thanks guys. Also does the category of the cable make a difference with short of a run?

monoprice quote:

"It is possible for a cable to pass a 1080p signal and 1.3 extended bandwidth signal without being Category 2. These cables would have bandwidth that are beyond category 1 but below category 2. Most of our non-category 2 cables perform in this range."

b5er,


The Category of the cable won't matter, either; the HDMI Category 2 testing requires the cable to perform at a bandwidth greater than that required for passing a 1080p signal. See http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articl...dmi-cables.htm

here for more info.


Buy a Category 2 cable and sleep better at night.
