Very Short HDMI Cables

Hi,

I'm looking at upgrading my amp to one which offers HDMI inputs and routes the signals to one output, with the plan being to have all my AV gear going to the amp (via HDMI) and then one lead to the LCD.

Bearing this in mind I want to try and reduce the amount of cable behind my rack, so ideally would like to get hold of decent HDMI cables which are about 6 to 12 inches in length.

Does anyone do them that short?

Thanks

Re: Very Short HDMI Cables

Several vendors offer short cables, but I'd think carefully before going as short as 6".

If the cables will be straight then that is fine, but if there is a bend then you need to consider the minimum bend radius of the cable and if it is a decent quality cable then you'll find that the tension caused by a tight bend on a short cable is going to cause problems over time.
