  • Kopul HDA-525 HDMI: a long cable that never drops signal

    The verdict

    A long, reliable HDMI cable — gold-plated connectors, metal-bodied ends, and zero dropped signal even at 25ft.

    What’s good
    ✓  Gold-plated connectors and a metal connector body
    ✓  Durable, feels solid to plug in
    ✓  Reliable over long runs — no dropped signal at 25ft
    ✓  Many lengths (1.5ft up to 25ft)
    Worth knowing
    ·  The cable is a little stiff — which actually helps it stay put
    ·  B&H sent this to review

    It’s been rock-solid in my live-stream setup even over a long distance.
