Digital Devices HDMI Cable

For an HDMI cable to fit into a specific source and display device, it requires an end-connector. The connector you choose depends on the application, and you can select from four basic types. HDMI connectors are categorized using letters of the alphabet such as Type A, Type B, or Type C. For simplicity, we will use regular, mini, macro, and automotive categories to separate the different types. Regular: Falls under Types A and B. These are the everyday HDMI ports you are likely to find on the most used devices like the television, laptop, and game console. Compared to other HDMI connectors, this is the largest connector. Mini: Falling under Type C, this connector is smaller and thinner than Types A and B. It is a suitable solution for smaller portable devices that often do not have much space for the bigger Type A or B connectors. Therefore, you are likely to find connectors of this type in devices like tablets and cameras. Macro: This connector type caters to compact devices like smartphones. It is smaller than the mini and regular types. Automotive: The automotive connector type, sometimes called Type E, differs from the other types in that it has a locking tab so that it remains in place when a vehicle vibrates. It is also designed in a way that prevents moisture from interfering with its functioning.
