The Tripp Lite® by Eaton® Standard-Speed HDMI® Gold Cable allows interconnection between digital display devices, such as HDTVs and projectors, to digital source devices such as satellite/cable boxes, Blu-Ray™ players, and AV receivers. It supports iPad® 2 Video Mirroring when used with Apple® Digital A/V Adapter. HDMI® assures that the best audio/video signal is always sent from the source to the display. It does this by allowing uncompressed video and multi-channel audio data to be input to the display device through a single cable. An HDMI® connection allows input at high rates of speed, up to 10.2 Gbps. In most applications where the HDMI® cable exceeds 16 ft., a signal booster (B122-000-60, sold separately) will need to be used with this cable to ensure a signal strong enough for your display.
