A recent article from Extron Electronics, authored by Ron Justice, the company's director of technical services, explains how "there’s more to a [pre-terminated] HDMI cable than just the wire from which it’s constructed."

The article's premise is that, since "in commercial AV, you get what you pay for," savvy system integrators must beware the enticements of "bargain" cabling.
