The Tripp Lite 25 ft. High Speed HDMI Gold Cable allows interconnection between digital display devices, such as DTVs (Digital Television), plasma displays, LCD TVs and projectors, to Digital source devices—such as digital set-top boxes, Blu-ray players and A/V receivers. It supports iPad 2 Video Mirroring when used with Apple Digital A/V Adapter. HDMI assures that the best audio/video signal is always sent from the source to the display. It does this by allowing uncompressed video and multi-channel audio data to be input to the display device through a single cable. An HDMI connection allows input at high rates of speed, up to 18 Gbps. In most applications where the HDMI cable exceeds 16 ft., a signal booster (B122-000-60, sold separately) will need to be used with this cable to ensure a signal strong enough for your display.
