Flat HDMI cables utilise a unique construction design resulting in significantly lower loss and higher precision than the conventional round HDMI cable design. A flat HDMI cable has several advantages. One is that it can go under wall molding along the floor or were round cables will not fit (you could put it under a rug too, but I don't know how well the 19 conductors would respond to foot traffic). Secondly, flat HDMI cables have the conductors separated from one another more than when they are all bundled together in a round cable. This will lower the inductance, and this is important, especially so with the high frequencies in digital signals. The latest revision for HDMI doubles the bandwidth of the original and has opened the door for a host of potential new advancements in Home Theater Audio/Video performance. New features such a Deep Color, higher color gamut, and high resolution, multi-channel audio formats like Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio will make higher bandwidth demands than ever before. Equipment manufacturers are bringing out new devices to take advantage of these new features.
