|---|---|

Construction and Materials
Moulded HDMI Type-E male connectors at each end, each with a locking tab and a black overmould. The connector body is keyed so the plug only mates in one orientation, eliminating mis-connection. Inside the black PVC jacket are the standard 19 HDMI signal conductors plus shielding; the cable assembly shown is 3 m end-to-end.
Typical Applications
In-vehicle infotainment: head unit to dashboard display, head unit to rear-seat entertainment screen, head unit to roof-mounted monitor in shuttle and coach applications, and any other in-cabin HDMI run where ordinary consumer HDMI would vibrate loose.
Compatibility and Fitment
Standard HDMI Type-E sockets as defined in the HDMI specification. Type-E is mechanically distinct from Type-A, Type-C and Type-D — adapters exist but should be avoided in a moving vehicle because they remove the locking feature. Confirm the receiving device is a true Type-E socket, not Mini or Micro HDMI.
Custom Builds and Ordering
Cable length, jacket colour, connector orientation, and pinout can be tailored to your build.

Each audio video cable is bulk-packed in PE bags and shipped in export cartons. Standard packaging fits courier pallets; custom retail blister packs, header cards, and private-label boxes are available on request. Lead time for stocked items is typically 3–7 days; custom builds 2–4 weeks depending on quantity.
