Everything You Need To Know About A Flat HDMI Cable

By Areelitaha Joahlanski


Wires are just messy to look at and it can also lead to accidents. A Flat HDMI cable can make things a lot easier, but how good is it? Does it offer the same quality as round ones do? These are the questions that we will be tackling.

When something is new, price is always an issue. However, a flat or thin HDMI cord is cost about the thing as regular ones. If you are wondering about its price, you will have to take a closer look at the wire. The flat HDMI uses the same materials that you can find in the round ones. The wires are just spread around so that it becomes a lot sleeker.

People always ask about the picture quality difference. Most people mistake the round ones as a better option since it has thicker wires that make it carry more data. However, this is only a misconception. The flat cords use the same materials and number of wires, which assure picture quality. The length of the wire also does not make any difference.

Is there any difference between the gold plated HDMI cables compared to the copper plated ones? There is a slight difference since Gold does a better job transmitting data compared to copper. Gold is more conductive, which make it carry data faster. Gold and copper plated are also available for the flat HMDI cable.

Durability is also a question that people often ask. The flat and regular HDMI cables use the same materials and go through the same manufacturing standards. The durability is basically the same. However, the flat HDMI cable is less susceptible damage thanks to its sleekness. An object will just run over the thin cable while the round ones can get stripped.

There some flat cables that are UL/CL2 certified. This means, they follow a standard for home wiring. This assures you that it will fit into in-wall installation accessories. If you are not really particular, you can get the run-of-the-mill thin HDMI cord and just slip it under the wallpaper. Some people even add some thick paint to that it will be barely noticeable.

A flat HDMI cable could save hundreds of dollars worth out of home wiring. One can easily do the installation him or herself. The thinness of the wire makes it easy to conceal under almost anything. The flat cables are certainly a lot more affordable than the upcoming wireless HDMI.
