Question: What are ferrite cores?

Answer: Ferrite cores are the cylindrical fixtures placed near the connectors to filter noise and high frequency interference.

Question: Will I get both audio and video by connecting just one HDMI cable?

Answer: Yes, HDMI is designed to deliver both high definition digital video and multi-channel digital audio.

*Some A/V recievers will only provide switching and pass through functions and will not play the audio information in the HDMI signal. It will simply pass the signal through to the display.

Question: What is AWG?

Answer: AWG stands for "American Wire Gauge." It is the thickness of the wire inside the cable. The lower number AWG denotes thicker wiring and thicker overall cable. Thicker cables are recommended for longer cable runs because they offer less resistance along the signal path.

Question: What does the gold plating refer to?

Answer: Gold plating refers to the connectors. Gold plating provides resistance against corrosion that would otherwise impede signal transfer and could damage connections on equipment.

Question: Will these cables pass a 1080p signal.

Answer: Yes.

All of our "Certified Cables" will easily pass a 1080p signal. Our extended length cables (40ft and longer) have been able to pass a 1080p signal in our own lab tests. In some situations, an equalizer was needed.

Results will vary depending on the equipment being used. Not all pairs of equipment are capable of passing signals over extended runs.

Question: Why are your cables so cheap? Are they as good as the name brand cables the retail stores are trying to get me to buy?

Answer: Yes, the cables we sell are just as high in quality, construction, materials and reliability as those typically found in retail stores. We stand behind then with a life time warranty. There are many reasons why we can bring you such great value. The main reasons would be as follows, the elimination of the middle man. Yellowknife is a cable designer andmanufacturer, and because of this we are basically bringing the product to you at wholesale prices. Retail stores and national brand products have much more overhead including, nationwide networks of stores, distribution warehouses, large commissioned sales staffs, advertising budgets, packaging, etc. But the main reason would be mark up. Most retail work on a "Loss Leader" model of sales. They advertise high ticket items at great prices leaving them with little to no margin. They make up that margin with all add on items they can sell you such as extended warranties, batteries, cases and cables. They sell these items with a very high mark up.

Question: Do I need 1.4 cables for 1080p?

Answer: No, HDMI has supported 1080p from the start. All versions of HDMI have the potential to support 1080p.

Question: How do I know if I need male to male cables or male to female?

Answer: As a rule, consumer electronics devices ALWAYS have female ports on them. (a protruding male connector would break off too easily) So, for connecting two devices together, you need a male to male cable.

Male to female cables are used to extend existing cables.

Question: Will these cables work with my new 120hz display?

Answer: Yes, absolutely.

Question: Will these cables work with 1.4 equipment?

Answer: HDMI 1.4 is backward compatible with all prior versions. However, to take advantage of the newest features you may need specific types of cables. To utilize the ethernet connection, you will need cables that are labeled, "with" ethernet. To take advantage of extended resolutions like 4K x2K and 3d support, we recommend cables that are "High Speed."
