Signal-management specialist Gefen’s flat HDMI 1.3 cables were developed specifically for multimedia systems and provide flexibility when integrating high-end installations. Alongside multiple shielding against electromagnetic interference and premium materials, the copper-based cable has a braided jacket for durability.
