It's soooo "Xtreme" it has a plug on both ends.

Thank goodness! I've been looking for one of these things EVERYWHERE!

Not that great of a deal. I mean, seriously, you can get one at Best Buy for $59.99

Always nice to have a few extra HDMI cables around. Seems like when you need them, they are never around and local shops are way over priced.

How does one know what version these are. I have not bought HDMI cables for a good few years. Would these be better?

Great purchase if you already have shipping covered for the day. I picked up a few a couple wootoffs ago.

specs say 1.4b

It is a steal at this price. I always buy 3 when they have these cables under $5, no matter the length. My husband always is bugging me for one.

Everyone buy one to unlock free shipping!

I'm holding out for the HARDCORE cable with proper jacket armor and circular mil connectors, or the hipster one where the heat shrink used is 2 gauge sizes too small and it has DB-25 connectors on either side.

The cable in this picture looks like the kind that hooks your smartphone to your TV..but they don't provide the details...Is this a micro or mini hdmi on the small end?

Thank you I was not sure if that meant version number or not. In for 3! Mine were getting old anyway!

What's the scoop with HDMI and 3D, do you need a certain cable to handle 3D? In my infant stages of learning 3D so I'm not sure, is this cable OK?

$4.99

And they have listed:
Optimize the capabilities of your entertainment devices both at home and on-the-go with an HDMI 1.4 Cable 6', Bulk Polyester Bag from Xtreme Cables. It is compatible with all versions of HDMI up to 1.4, meaning it provides all the benefits of home entertainment networking in one powerful connection.

This well-built cable combines a throughput for an HDMI Ethernet channel, audio return channel, 3D technology with support for up to a 4K x 2K resolution. While it works with all resolution types, it can carry up to four times as much as a 1080p display, on par with what is used in digital theaters.

Unfortunately you will have to settle for the "Off the Hook" and the "GTFO R U Srius?" versions

Just bought three. Looking to pick up a couple of electronics that will need these on Black Friday and this saves me the $10 a pop that the cords will be selling for.

Bought two, one for me and one for my parents. Good deal here.

HDMI 1.4 is required for 3D. These cables are 1.4 according to the spec so they should work perfect.

Well yes, it's the version of the spec. ;)

1.4b is the latest version.

Cheaper than the equivalent length cable from monoprice; impressive.

I bought these last time, they are nice cables, work fine and can't beat the price!

Oooh, totally needed more of these. In for 2!

What kind of equipment can these be used for? (I'm still in the stone age of electronics)

Cables don't have a spec. Even your old cable can do 1.4 HDMI. The 1.4 refers to the port, not the cable.

There are 4 types of cable. As long as you get one that says High Speed, it will do what you are looking for. The only difference are the ones that carry ethernet as well, those will cost you.

In short, if it says High Speed, it will do 1.0-1.4. Cables don't have a .v spec.

I bought some of these from Woot before - and they are awesome! Totally impressive packaging too! Look like something Best-Buy would sell for $59.99!

In for 3 more!

Bought a bundle of these from Woot! a few years ago, and used them to connect pretty much everything to everything else on 2 TVs, each with Fios and Blu-Ray players. Never had a problem with signal or HDMI connection.

Soooo, they will work to hook up my TV, DVD player, etc?

This is crap. The picture shows one end to be a micro HDMI and the other standard. When I final received these they both have standard HDMI ends. Very disappointed with the deceptive picture WOOT!
