Incorrect specs, misleading
I bought this cable after previously purchasing a very cheap cable on amazon and finding out that there are in fact 2 different HDMI standards. The earlier standard doesn't support fast data transfer and will cause an annoying flickering to occur when utilizing a blue ray player. The newer standard (which this cable claims to support) transfers 10.2gbits/sec and is the type of cable that any customer today should be looking for.
This cable DOES NOT conform with the newer standard of data transfer. The description (supports ethernet, 3d and audio return, newest version) is MISLEADING.
I plugged the cable into the back of my BD player and it immediately started the "flicker" that is commonly associated with the older version. I mistakenly purchased this product based on the written customer reviews and high star rating. This certainly shakes my faith in Amazon.com and the opinions of people who buy products from it.
