If you're looking at this adapter, it's probably because of two reasons: You need to make a connection in a tight space, possibly a 90 degree angle. Or, you have an HDMI port that is constantly having HDMI cables connected to and disconnected from it. This is a well-built adapter with excellent video and audio pass-through. It makes connections more convenient since it swivels and can allow you to connect cables at a 90-degree angle. Perfect for those tight spots. Recommended.
MORE DETAILS:
Due to the adapter's design which allows swivelling, the wiring inside has to curve and then straighten out again in the casing. Despite the curve, the audio and video signals were not affected in my tests.
CONNECTORS: The connectors on both ends are gold plated, as are the pins inside the connectors.
Both HDMI cables I tested slid in easily and held tightly. The connection is strong, and the video and audio pass-through is also excellent. The first HDMI cable I...Read more

I bought 2 of these units to use with my wall mounted TV. One for this TV and one for a future project. I attached the TV using my HDMI cable, selected the proper input and got a picture. I disconnected the wire from the back of the TV and added one of the adapters. No signal. OK, I say to myself let me try the other one. No signal on that one either. I put the HDMI cable back in directly and the TV picture came back. These adapters are garbage. Back to component video since the HDMI cable is quite bent behind the tv, thus the need for an adapter. RETURN ALL THE THINGS!

I have my TV mounted on the wall and all my cords plug in to the back of the TV. The tip recently broke off of my HDMI cable because the cable plugin stuck out of the back of the TV too far and was smashed. I bought this thinking it would alleviate the problem. This adapter is HUGE! It sticks out more than my original HDMI cable with no angle did. It cost more to return it than it did to purchase it originally so i'll bite the bullet and keep it. Did not do what i had intended and now is just collecting dust in my spare parts closet. Oh well, bought a nicer cable with an angled connection built in and it works beautifully.
