Obviously this is bad… All that effort! Fret not! Before I did my final shrink tube around the whole ordeal, I started jiggling wires. After some inspection, I realized that it would only really stay on if I used a scrap piece of aluminum foil to shield the cable as best I could. I reapplied the shielding, being sure to get some extra foil shoved into the sheathing for a good contact to the original foil shield, and reapplied the scotch tape sheath.
After 20 minutes of playing a video, I determined the cable was good and cleaned up shop. Gave everything a once-more with the heat gun, then slipped the outer tube over, and shrank that.

Preface I originally set out to write a single, succinct-yet-thorough, fully-encompassing post. Also, I lost some of my images, which is why I never released this, but figured why not… You also need a high level of patience, and an understanding that you might not get it the first try.
Quick HDMI knowledge-dump HDMI is very delicate in operation; all signals on all wires need to terminate at both ends cleanly, and all electrical currents need to be synchronized when they hit the termination point.
Stay tuned! First, a few shots of the damage at hand: Head on view. Share this: Twitter Facebook. Like this: Like Loading About killerspaz I'm a developer that loves to tinker with cutting edge technology.

Here is my question: If I cut them both is it possible to splice them together to make long one? Also, just out of curiosity If they are the same brand is it possible then?
Dec 6, 33 0 18, 7. You should be able to run a 50' hdmi cable without requiring a repeater, so the length is not an issue. I would buy a longer cable. Next photo is the setup, I set my multimeter for 20K since I dont a have beeper mode on it. It will only show that there is practically no resistance when you hit the right wire. Next: Peel of 2 cm from the cable and get some room between the wires As you can see we have a few wires for display detection, 5 volt power, clock speed and data in beautiful colors.
And 4x 2 pairs of wires in a colorfull metal shield, these are the data wires for the picture and sound. Before you begin, slide the first part from the connector on, its a common mistake to have the connector in place and then realise that you needed to slide that one on first.
Then strip down the metal shields of the wire pairs so they will be exposed, next remove about 3mm of the inner wires so the core will be exposed. Next: try to line up the first pair of wires to the connector, first measure which one you need with the multimeter and then align them up to the connector. I used my crocodile clamp assist to keep things straight. I used tape to protect the cable from the crocodile clamp. First I did some solder on the contacts and on the wires. After that you can hold them together and push them in place while heating the contact on the connector..
The 25 watt soldering iron was more then enough, maybe to much for the job Work from left to right or right to left If you dont you could end up like photo 3, with to much sodler it will touch the contact next to it and change into one big solid lump.
This can be corrected by using desolder wire After a a few wires you could be in for a suprice, some of the wires can bearly make it to the contacts. And done, I was left with two ground wires, which I cut off.
The other end shoud still be connected to ground so that doesnt really matter. I hope. After searching on the internet for a Hdmi connector I found out that there wasnt anything with a cable strain relief. Iam not sure why but do they think that 15 small wires are going to hold out? I replaced another connector two months back because it malfunctioned after working for two months And for some reason my cable is a lot thinner then the exit hole in the back of the connector of course there are many types of Hdmi cables out there but you would think they thought of that when they designed this connector Not sure what to think of this And tata Test one more time ALL connections to make sure you do not have any wires twisted or connected wrong.
You dont wanna blow the Hdmi connections on your computer or television. Some additions: I took some precaution and ordered a Hdmi to Hdmi connector and another 3 meter Hdmi cable. The idea is that when the cables breaks down again the only thing you have to replace is the 3 Meter cable which saves you a lot of trouble To hold it all together I used some tytrips and a alumilium strip.
Then we put the hole assembly into the wall, since the walls are hollow we have enough room to put it all in there without bending anything. After closing it all up there is nothing to be seen, but if this cable breaks we can connect a new Hdmi cable within 10 minutes.
And there you go, running a signal through a 5 meter long cable with a self-soldered connector, then through a Hdmi to Hdmi connector and then another 3 meters to the Imac with converter. I tested it with a P trailer and there was no scrambeld or strange picture to be seen, proves that Hdmi is a good and solid protocol. Way to go Hdmi It didnt work with any glue I used including hot glue and I ended up doing al this a second time.
The cable itself and the connectors are so smooth that any glue you would use has trouble sticking on to it. That is why I left it out and used the aluminium and Tyraps approach. For more tips untested look at the comments below first page. Question 4 days ago.
