Angled HDMI Connector - Easy Installation in Tight Spaces

Here on this page, you will find our selection of angled HDMI cables and adapters that are ideal for installation in tight spaces, for example, when a screen needs to hang close to the wall.

You are probably already familiar with HDMI cables, as they are a very common connection for screens and other devices when transferring audio and video.

A standard HDMI cable is efficient and available in many qualities and price ranges, but as many people mount their televisions on the wall, it can present some challenges.

The HDMI connector is often quite large and lengthy, which means that if the screen needs to hang tightly against the wall, there is often not enough space for the large connector at the back of the screen.

This means you often have to use one of the connectors on the side of the screen, if you are lucky enough to have such placed input ports, but this also means it can be difficult to gather the cables in a cable organizer, as the cables come from multiple places on the screen.

Here, an angled HDMI connector or cable can be a really good solution, as it ensures easy installation even in tight spaces.

If you are unsure about what to pay attention to when looking for an angled HDMI, read below where we have gathered some information that can help you find the right solution for you.

3 Things You Should Consider Before Buying Angled HDMI

There are many different models of HDMI cables and connectors, and both quality and price can vary greatly across different models.

Therefore, we have gathered our suggestions for 3 things you should consider and be aware of before buying angled HDMI connectors and cables.

#1 - Type of Angled HDMI

There are different types of angled HDMI connectors, and here you can choose between an adapter or an HDMI cable with an angled connector.

If you already have a really good HDMI cable that you would like to continue using, consider finding a good angled HDMI adapter.

In this way, you can still use your excellent HDMI cable and connect it to the adapter, which can then be plugged into your screen.

Here, the connector from your cable points upwards and into the adapter, which has an angle and a plug that can be inserted into the screen.

You can also find HDMI cables with one or two angled HDMI connectors, and by using these cables, you have the option to mount the connector behind your screen, even if it is placed closely against the wall.

Whether you choose an adapter or a cable with angled HDMI connectors, you can find these in various resolutions, which means you do not have to compromise on quality.

An angled HDMI adapter does not take up much space, and if you already have an HDMI cable with the right resolution for your needs, this device is a great solution to accommodate the HDMI connector in your screen without the connector sticking out too far back for the screen to sit closely against the wall.

By using an angled connector, whether in an adapter or a cable, you also avoid bending or kinking the cable at a sharp angle, which can damage the small conductors inside the cable.

Many people have their cables running up to the screen, down from the floor or a shelf, and therefore it is often necessary to bend the wire to get the connector into the screen. Even if the screen is sitting on a table with good space behind it, it can still be a good idea to consider an angled HDMI connector.

#2 - Features of Angled HDMI

When choosing an angled HDMI connector or adapter, these can have various special features that can make the plugs or adapters more flexible to use.

In addition to the angled HDMI connector, which is available as either an adapter or on a cable, it is also possible to get swivel connectors, which often are found on an HDMI cable.

The swivel connectors allow you to rotate the connector relative to the cable, in many different positions.

This also means that the cable does not necessarily need to sit either straight or at a 90-degree angle from the screen, but can also be positioned at various angles.

In this way, you can use the cable in many different places and methods.

#3 - Resolution for Angled HDMI

When choosing the angled HDMI connector, whether in the form of a cable or an adapter, you should ensure that the resolution the connector can handle is the same as your current cable or the screen requires.

You can find angled HDMI connectors and adapters in the following resolutions:

• Full HD - 1920x1080
• 4K UHD - 3840x2160
• 4K DCI - 4096x2160

If you have a screen that cannot display 4K resolution, you can still choose a connector or adapter that supports 4K resolution.

Both connectors and cables for 4K can indeed handle lower resolutions as well, but you cannot get a resolution of 4K delivered through a cable or connector with a Full HD resolution.

Often, 4K HDMI cables and connectors are slightly more expensive than angled HDMI connectors for Full HD resolution, for example.
