HDMI Cable Ports
The HDMI cable is equipped with two distinct connectors:
- HDMI Input: This connector is designed to plug into the output port of your source device (e.g., DVD Player, Gaming Console). It is typically marked to indicate it is the input side.

The cable facilitates a direct link between these components.
Understanding Unidirectional Transmission
The Amazon Basics HDMI cable operates on a unidirectional transmission principle. This means that the signal travels exclusively in one direction: from the input source to the output display.
Signal Path:
HDMI (Input) ➡️ HDMI (Output) ✔️
This design ensures efficient and correct data transfer from your media players or gaming consoles to your screen.
Key Connection Instructions
- This cable is not bi-directional. Pay attention to the markings on the connectors, which often include a monitor-like logo, to ensure correct port identification (input vs. output).
- Connect the Input end of the HDMI cable to your source device, such as a DVD Player, TV Box, or Play station/Gaming Console.
- Connect the Output end of the HDMI cable to your display device, such as a TV, Monitor, or Projector.
