InVeNtOr Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Slim passive Metallic series does anyone use either one of these? i plan on replacing my current HDMI cables just because i want something more flexable. i understand the Metallic has a bigger AWG and has metal connectors, but other than that, the specs are the same. i've had two different chats with Monoprice tech reps, and there is no other data on these. i ASSUME (lol) that the metal one is a sheilded cable because of the use of metal connectors. if it's not a shielded cable, then metal connectors are a waste. i understand the Slim series is way more flexible than the Metallic and the Metallic is more flexible than the commercial series. i find this funny, the metallic series is way cheaper than slim! i would prefer to have a shielded cable, but either way it goes, these HDMI are only going to be 3' long. then the HDMI that will go from the TV to "OUT" and TV to Uverse, will be all Active.

Moderators Youthman Posted November 3, 2015 Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2015 I'm not sure the difference but I have a few of the slim and they have worked great for connecting components to the receiver. Seems like the longer runs require thicker cable (maybe more shielding?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InVeNtOr Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 ordered Slim passive series. reasons: flexibility, size, and length (only 3' long). i'll also like to "match" them to the Active series once i buy a new tv and wall mount it.
