Stay Connected With a Female-to-Female HDMI Cable

A beautiful HD picture has the power to transport you to other places that you might never have the opportunity to physically visit. To get that picture on your television along with pristine audio, you have to have an HDMI source that's long enough to reach from your disc player to the television. With a female-to-female HDMI cable, you'll be sure to have plenty of length, no matter your HD entertainment setup.

What types of female adapters are available?

Given the wide variety of different entertainment setups, there are a number of different types of female-to-female HDMI cables and HDMI adapters. A few of the types are:

• Corded: These have a female port at both ends that are attached by a cable in the middle. The cables are available in varying lengths ranging from a few inches to serve as an adapter to several feet to serve more as an extension cord.
• Fused: These types of adapters have two female ports that are fused together into one unit. These units allow you to easily connect two or more male HDMI cables to create a longer run.
• 2-to-1: These HDMI cables have two female ports on one end and one on the other, allowing you to either combine two inputs to use one cable or split one input into two outputs.
• Keystone: These ports allow you to run cables in the wall, providing a female connector on both ends: one for the source cable inside the wall and the other for connecting the cable outside the wall.

How do you select a female-to-female HDMI cable?

To ensure you're able to make the correct connections for your entertainment system, here are a few things to consider to determine which female-to-female HDMI cable is right for you:

• Room size: Determine the length of HDMI cables that you need for your entertainment setup. This will determine how many female-to-female cables you'll need to reach the correct length.
• Location: If you plan on running cables in your wall, ensure you select a female-to-female HDMI cable that is rated for in-wall use.
• Number of channels: Determine how many inputs and outputs you will use and then decide if you need a female-to-female cable splitter or just a single input and output. HDMI splitters and female adapters are available with four or even more channels available, if needed.

What is the difference between a male and female cable?

To better understand why you might need a female-to-female connector, it's important to understand what is meant by male and a female. Most displays, such as televisions and computer monitors, are equipped with a female HDMI input if they have that capability. Most A/V components, such as Blu-ray players and surround sound receivers, are equipped with a female HDMI port. This means that, in order to connect two of these pieces of equipment, you will need a male-to-male HDMI cable. However, if your male-to-male cable is not long enough, you can utilize a female-to-female HDMI cable in between two (or more) male-to-male cables to allow you to extend your cable run, enabling connection between the two devices.
