Display Cables, HDMI

HDMI is a digital interface, single cable solution for combined HD video and audio, replacing analogue solutions which require separate audio/video cables (such as VGA and audio jack). HDMI is capable of transmitting higher-quality signals and supports advanced features like HDR.

Over years, most HDMI cables have been equipped with a feature called HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC).  This feature enables the transmission of internet data at high speeds with better bandwidth using the HDMI cable, just like an Ethernet cable does.
 

There are also different types of cables, these are Type A, Type B, Type C, and Type D.
•Type A (Standard HDMI): 
•Type B (Dual Link HDMI): Type B has only 15 pins instead of 19
•Type C (Mini HDMI): This type of HDMI, also known as the Mini HDMI connector.
•Type D (Micro HDMI): Its cross-sectional footprint is 72% smaller than the Type A.

These are three common types of HDMI converters:
•HDMI to DisplayPort converter – converters the HDMI signal to a DisplayPort signal
•HDMI to VGA converter – converters digital HDMI to analog VGA
•HDMI to DVI converter - changes the input signal from HDMI to DVI
