Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Ideal for connecting to HDMI ports in cramped or hard-to-reach areas, the AmazonBasics HDMI Male to Female Swivel Adapter is designed to pivot, giving you greater control of the cable. Heavy HDMI cables and frequent plugging and unplugging of cables put unnecessary strain on your equipment. With the Swivel Adapter, you'll have the same quality connection as you would with a regular HDMI male to female adapter, but with added flexibility and protection against wear and tear.

Check your device manuals to make sure you have the right connectors.

HDMI Male to Female Swivel Adapter Pivots for connections in tight spaces Reduces wear and tear on ports Backed by a one-year limited warranty

HDMI Adapter Ideal for Tight Spaces

The AmazonBasics HDMI Male to Female Swivel Adapter is a solid choice for tight spaces, such as entertainment centers located near walls or corners. Conventional HDMI adapters are often inflexible and can put extra pressure on HDMI ports. The Swivel Adapter connects like a regular adapter except that it pivots at the center, so you can adjust the placement of the cables to suit the available space, putting less pressure on the port.

Minimizes Wear and Tear

The weight of a stiff or inflexible cable can strain or even damage the HDMI ports of your HDTV or other devices over time. The AmazonBasics HDMI Male to Female Swivel Adaptor gives you the flexibility to adjust the placement of your cables so they don't put extra weight on your equipment. If you use an HDMI connection frequently, you can also keep the swiveling adapter plugged in and turned up when it's not in use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-built adapter with excellent video and audio pass-through, October 27, 2010

(What's this?)

If you're looking at this adapter, it's probably because of two reasons: You need to make a connection in a tight space, possibly a 90 degree angle. Or, you have an HDMI port that is constantly having HDMI cables connected to and disconnected from it. This is a well-built adapter with excellent video and audio pass-through. It makes connections more convenient since it swivels and can allow you to connect cables at a 90-degree angle. Perfect for those tight spots. Recommended.

MORE DETAILS:
Due to the adapter's design which allows swivelling, the wiring inside has to curve and then straighten out again in the casing. Despite the curve, the audio and video signals were not affected in my tests.

CONNECTORS: The connectors on both ends are gold plated, as are the pins inside the connectors.
Both HDMI cables I tested slid in easily and held tightly. The connection is strong, and the video and audio pass-through is also excellent. The first HDMI cable I used was an Amazon Basics HDMI cable which is a thinner cable. The other HDMI cable was a thicker Belkin cable.

SWIVEL: When laying the adapter flat, the head of the adapter can swivel/move almost 90 degrees to the left or right. The middle of the adapter is on a hinge that allows the adapter to swivel up or down vertically in a 90 degree position.

QUALITY: High quality hard plastic with gold connectors.

This is a useful adapter for either making connections in tight spaces and limited areas. It also serves the purpose of providing an endpoint where HDMI cables can be connected/disconnected multiple times without causing damage to the main connector on your equipment. Most people probably won't remove HDMI connections once they are connected, but if necessary, this is a great adapter. If I have any issues with the pass-through signal, I will update this review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worked Perfectly to Install Cable in a Tight Space, November 23, 2010

(What's this?)

I just installed a new LED LCD HDTV on the wall with a slim mount. After installing the TV I realized that the HDMI cable would not fit between the back of the TV and the wall. I am so glad to have this adapter as it allowed for the cable to be installed easily. It also prevents the normal bending of the cable that normally occurs in tight spaces. Works perfectly. I will be getting more of these to have on hand!

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: AmazonBasics HDMI Male to Female Swivel Adapter (Electronics)

I bought 2 of these units to use with my wall mounted TV. One for this TV and one for a future project. I attached the TV using my HDMI cable, selected the proper input and got a picture. I disconnected the wire from the back of the TV and added one of the adapters. No signal. OK, I say to myself let me try the other one. No signal on that one either. I put the HDMI cable back in directly and the TV picture came back. These adapters are garbage. Back to component video since the HDMI cable is quite bent behind the tv, thus the need for an adapter. RETURN ALL THE THINGS!
