  You might try Parts Express pn 181-736. It is ~$50 for a 2m cable.

  It is what I use. Good stuff!

  I believe there are only 3 or 4 manufacturers which can terminate the wire, a couple in China and a couple in Japan. Everyone else has to go to one of those few companies in order to terminate their cables. HDMI can be deceptive, though. The latest HDMI 1.3 protocol specs the needs of wire which can pass very high frequency bandwidths. Not so easily done, at least not with cheap wire. Early Monster cable HDMI didn't even have all the pins hooked up!.....

  Why bother with it ......build your own !
  4m of 4n silver cotton sleeves to fit and some decent rca plugs will outperform it for in the region of $40

    You must not know what a "HDMI" cable is....

    Cant build a HDMI cable useing a RCA plug....it would be like building a XLR or wall outlet plug, or S-Video cable using a RCA.

      Hi.

      Sorry you got to BUY the cord as I don't see any such HDMI miniature
      connectors available yet from any parts shops.

      Prabably HDMI (high definiation digital multimedia interphase) is still 'new' in the TV marketplace, a cable/cord manufacturer told me it only cost me a couple of bucks a 1-metre piece if I purchse in bulk for resale.

      Quite a few brandname DVD players with HDMI O/P come with HDMI cord
      free. To pay a few hundred buck for one? It's a ripp off, nomatter how hi-end it is claimed.

      unless you're looking for some esoteric brand hdmi cable made with super pure silver/gold/platinum wire, just go to monoprice.com where you can purchase a 50 ft. length of 22 gauge silver plated copper hdmi cable for $95.00. or whatever length / gauge you desire.
