There are different types ofHDMI extenderavailable for various applications. According to the maximum video resolution it transmits, HDMI extender can be mainly divided into three kinds: The major benefit is that it allows you to extend distance between devices. For example, when you want to view a film using a blue ray DVD player on the TV in another room where you are not able to do it, you can use an HDMI extender with flexible cables to make this connection possible. Some HDMI extender cables have a gold-plated connector. In terms of the quality of transmission, you won’t see any difference between an HDMI extender cable that has a gold-plated connector and one that doesn’t. However, ones that do not have gold-plated connectors may corrode more easily and require replacement or cleaning. If you’re planning on creating a complex system and installing a cable through a wall, opt for an HDMI extender cable with a gold-plated connector. If a long transmission range is not the main selling point for you, we suggest getting a closer look at the OREI EX-165C HDMI Extender. What makes this set stand out is that the transmitter has both HDMI in and out, plus there is an HDMI out on the receiver.

For advanced USB devices, using USB 2.0 or above versions is recommended.
