This product will work if you have the right wiring diagram

I bought this product because I have floor to ceiling cables and fortunately the HDMI port that connected to my ceiling mounted projector was damaged, when I made the adjustment Beamer. Grr. In any case, I've spent far too much time getting this product to work, which has prompted me to share what I've learned. The biggest problem is finding the right schematic and having patience. I downloaded at least 5 different charts and none of them worked. However, I noticed a pattern that simplified my last successful attempt (what a relief). The diagram I'm sharing here may not work for some of you, but it may help you narrow it down to your own configuration. For myself I bought an HDMI cable from Best Buy. It has blue ends named Quest. There are 5 bundles of 3 wires each, and these bundles are wrapped in colored foil (see my diagram). For this cable, each bundle contained 1 white, 1 green, and 1 clear/grey wire inside. The remaining cables were dismantled. I'm no expert here, but it seemed to me that there is no set order of wire bundles as long as you keep them "pinned" according to my scheme. In other words, you can start with the pink color kit for pins 1-3 or the others. I hope that makes sense. In any case, this is the first time that I share my experience with a product. I hope this saves someone time and nerves. Much luck.

Pros
  • Material: metal, double-sided electrical circuit board; Snap-on design, durable engineering plastic body
