Cables Direct 77HDMI-010 HDMI cable 1 m HDMI Type A (Standard) Black

This specific model connects devices with standard HDMI Type A ports. It is ideal for linking DVD players, set-top boxes, or digital TVs. The 1-metre length is practical for tight spaces or organised desks. Because it is a straight-to-straight cable, installation is simple. However, always verify your device’s physical port clearance before purchase.

Slim Specifications

High Speed with Ethernet Support

The cable supports the HDMI 1.4 specification. This includes an Ethernet channel within the connection. So, compatible devices can share internet access without a separate network cable. It also supports up to 1080p video resolution. In practice, this is sufficient for most UK broadcast and streaming standards.

Gold-Flashed Connectivity

Both connectors feature gold-flashed contacts. Gold resists corrosion better than other metals. This ensures a stable signal transfer over time. The connectors are straight-form-factor male types. They provide a secure fit into standard HDMI ports on TVs and monitors.

Compact 1 Metre Length

At 1 metre, this cable reduces excess clutter behind your entertainment unit. It is long enough for adjacent devices but short enough to avoid tangles. For example, it works well for wall-mounted TVs with close-set equipment. However, verify the distance between your specific devices to ensure a comfortable fit.

Robust Build and Finish

The cable is finished in black for a discreet look. It blends easily with most home cinema setups. The outer jacket protects the internal wiring from everyday wear. While the input does not specify bending radius or shielding details, the build feels standard for domestic use.
