It is NOT a good cable. So many conductors and not enough shielding causes RF interference which screws things up-design flaw.

The Connector is awful. with all those pins, even with miniaturization it is large, it doesn't lock nor does it do anything to ensure a snug fit. Like RCA, BNC, or DB9/25 etc.

Distance wasn't even considered in the original spec, but as we all soon learned distance would play a HUGE issue with HDMI

Everything about the standard seems to have been created by someone describing how to hook a cable box up to a TV who has never used either and is blind.

These are basic design flaws from the initial creation, a lot of our current problems are based on this flawed design so yeah good on you for knowing the guy who created HDMI. He is really bad at electrical engineering.
