Review on Ultra Thin HDMI Cable with Redmere (Ultra Slim HDMI Cable) 4K Rated with Ethernet - 15 Feet - by Cable Matters by Alex Gilbert

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Video breaks easily - returned

I bought this cable to run a thin HDMI cable through a conduit. Turns out my cable duct had enough room for a thicker reversible HDMI cable anyway, so I'm using it now. After installing this cable, I found that any slight movement of the last 12 or so inches of the cable (the end of the TV) would cause the video to break. It would turn off for up to 3 seconds at a time. My TV is mounted on a hydraulic mount, so the cables need to be able to handle a bit of movement. Even though this HDMI cable had a lot of slack, it still sometimes came loose when I moved my TV or even lightly touched it with my finger! I've never seen anything like this happen with an HDMI cable, and I didn't want to worry about the video stream being interrupted, so I immediately replaced it with a stronger cable. Of course, if I never touched the cable and didn't have hydraulic assistance, that shouldn't be a problem. Either way, it looks like a cable quality issue. My cable could be an accident, not sure!

Pros
  • Cables and Connections
Cons
  • So far so good
