Fanatic Digital HDMI Cable

The Fanatic digital HDMI cable is a wonder to behold for several reasons. It is a wonder of modern technology and for the price, you definitely get some quality. Fanatic has its eye on taking care of the customer and providing a long lasting, quality cable. In a world full of throw away products this is not only rare, but highly prized.

People don’t often consider that cable is a device. To most folks cable is simply cable. A device does something, like computes or moves or has some physical action or another. To these people I generally point out that signal moving from one point to another is action. In fact it is very fast action and you need the proper device to make that happen. In this case an HDMI cable.

HDMI cables come and go, Fanatic makes sure that theirs is going to come along and stay a bit. They are highly shielded and go so far as to include a duel ferrite core with many of their cable models. This is an added feature not a lot of cables offer.

The ferrite shielding on both ends of the cable is one of the distinctive features of Fanatic Digital HDMI cable. Ferrite is more or less a ceramic material. What does the same material used to make coffee cups have to do with cabling? The answer is in how it interacts with signal. Ferrite will prevent signal noise inside the cable or interference from outside electrical sources. When you think about digital signal as being low voltage, this makes sense. When you consider further that the Fanatic Digital HDMI cable will most likely be stuffed behind a big honkin TV with lots of electrical cables around, this makes perfect sense.

In addition to the ferrite core Fanatic Digital HDMI cables have gold plated tips. I preach gold plating all the time. It’s not for aesthetic reason that these tips are needed either. They help provide a good conductive environment for your cable. A majority of signal loss comes from the connector. If you think about it as a water pipe, most of your leaks come at the joins. Gold helps prevent signal leaks in your cable joint; where it plugs into the device.

Fanatic Digital HDMI has added a few extras to their line as well. Things like nylon braiding for the on the go gamer. This increases the cable’s durability and helps keep the shielding safe from tears or from pulling apart after the first thousand or so plugins. Overall it’s a smart move and one I wish every HDMI manufacturer thought of.

Fanatic also has their high end cables too. These are great because they will allow for a true HDTV picture of 1080p. This is the top quality available on the market today. All HDMI cables are NOT created equally. Some will just not handle 1080p and cop out at about the 1080i level. If you spent the money on an HDTV with a 1080p picture, this is exactly what you should get.

Fanatic Digital HDMI cables are a great value considering the quality you get with them. You can find them online or in electronics stores, but generally speaking, if you can wait a day or two online is cheaper and a better deal. While I won’t recommend anything, I will say I like these cables.
