For one day only we have reduced Revtek 10 metre flat high speed HDMI cable from $179 to $4.99 for ozbargain members only using the code "hdmibargain". The code will activate on 3pm on Tuesday the 14th of May and is available for In store pickup ONLY from our store in Sydney (West Ryde). All orders must be placed and paid online prior to pickup in store. Limited to the first 50 orders and 1 per customer to keep it fair.

Just in case anyone is wondering. This is the manufacturer' website
http://www.revolutiontechnologies.com.au/p-114-revtek-hdmi-c…

Please note this is the manufacture's stated RRP for this cable as you can see from the above link

UPDATE
Due to the number of inquiry's we have received about this cable in store and over the phone we have decided to add a second 10m High Speed HDMI Cable of similar value to this deal. Just in case some people miss out on the first. The same code will also bring this cable down to $4.99 for in store pickup ONLY.

    What exactly is the difference from this cable and a standard v1.4 HDMI cable OP? v1.4 includes Ethernet because it is the standard of that version.

    According to the website listed in the OP it lists the following "Supported Formats: Up To 1080i & 1080p" meaning it is only v1.3 as v1.4 goes up to 4K and does not support Ethernet nor 3D.

    From my research into it apart from being flat it is no different to cable I bought from eBay for $5, this is not a deal.

      if you're going to neg my post, perhaps you should learn the difference between HDMI versions before doing so..

  • blerk on 11/05/2013 - 20:07

    Not being willing to post/courier a washing machine deal, that I get. But a deal to pay online (hey, buy something else at our website whilst you are here plus we'll collect your details) coupled with a required store visit (hey, buy something at our shop whilst you are here) for such a reasonably sized item? Puh-lease. It's a ploy that deters me from the get go. Leave Click & Collect as a backup for distribution system issues (i.e. Dick Smith warehouse out of stock) or for those customers who want to save on postage costs, not as a marketing tactic to double dip on a customer.

    People sicken me sometimes. The OP posted in this way to maximise exposure for this deal. HE ONLY HAS 50 CABLES SO HE CHOSE TO MAKE IT 50 PICKUP TO MAXIMISE BENEFIT TO THE COMPANY.

    OH BTW IT STARTS TOMORROW.

    • PresidentClinton on 11/05/2013 - 20:38

      Does someone who sells something for $11 500 thats worth no more than $50 sicken you too? It does to me. I want to support NO company big or small that tries to take anyone for a ride and especially one that does it so openly.

          Well the fact that they try automatically puts them in the snake-oil column. This stuff needs to stop and I will inform as many people about what they try and sell. How would you feel about a petrol station putting their prices up to $20/Litre? An eskimo that just flew into town and got his license who happens to drive by his first petrol station might pay that price. Sure nobody else would buy it, but it just insults our collective intelligence and decency.

          Taking advantage of peoples stupidity is OK.
          Taking advantage of their ignorance is NOT.

          An analogous argument is 'this comment has an RRP of $179, because as the originator (~retailer) I say it does'. It doesn't matter what it cost, what my margin is or how effectively it works - it is the RRP if I (or the manufacturer) decide it is the RRP. Value is irrelevant to the RRP argument, but 'value for money' is the effective measure for a 'bargain'.

          As for my opinion, I don't care what the RRP is. I've never paid more than $10 for an HDMI cable of any length, and each and every one of the ~20 up to and including the $9.80 15m cable I have from dealextreme works just fine (as you would expect). There is no performance-related reason to ever buy a HDMI cable that is not the cheapest one available

        • PresidentClinton on 11/05/2013 - 22:09
          -1

          Yes but RRP is usually used as a gauge to support the golden retail rule that "You get what you pay for". Most people shop using this rule- but they are ignorant to the fact that it really doesn't apply to HDMI cables. This rule is then used by retailers to take advantage of people who are not necessarily stupid, but ignorant to that fact. That's what bugs me the most, and it shouldn't be happening.

        • lplau on 11/05/2013 - 22:09

          People who have too much money and don't know where to spend it would, but i doubt anybody on ozbargain would….. thats the whole point why they are here looking for bargains.

          Rich people don't care about the product, they just care about bragging rights….. Look at the people who bought Vertu Phones… crappy hardware…. just sold to rich people because of style. lol.

    According to the specs this 10m HDMI cable uses 28AWG wires. The high electrical resistance of these long thin wires may mean an unreliable signal transmission.

    The cutoff points for High Speed HDMI Cables (minimum 10.2 Gb/s) of each AWG rating are:

    • 28 AWG = maximum 10 feet
    • 26 AWG = maximum 12 feet
    • 24 AWG = maximum 15 feet
    • 22 AWG = maximum 25 feet

    Beyond the cutoff points, the cables are rated as Standard HDMI Cables (minimum 2.25 Gb/s). Using 28 AWG conductors, a cable of about 5 meters (about 16 feet) can be manufactured easily and inexpensively for SD/HD TV application.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/05/2013 - 00:18

      I'm glad somebody understands what makes a cable good. Plain and simple it's just electrical resistance, either the wires have to be thicker, the cable shorter or the material more conductive.

      Stop bothering yourself with contacts they don't matter that much, especially when the cable is ALWAYS made of copper.

      Stop bothering yourself with fancy braided fibre shielding, etc, it just stops the cable from earthing plain old plastic will do the job as long as it doesn't get cut or become brittle.

      Of course a <$5 cable will be dodgy, the chinese aren't dumb they figure they can leave out half the connections inside the cable, at 32 awg and just shield the hell out of it with cheap plastic so it feels sturdy, you're not going to know unless you cut it open and have a look. so just get a cheap brand name one from a retailer you trust that isn't any longer than required.

      • BinaryPirate on 12/05/2013 - 13:18

        The shielding isn't quite that irrelevant. If a WiFi signal needs to cross the path of cabling between the router and client the interference from poorly shielded cable can/will degrade the signal quality and/or network speed.

        On the edge of the FTA tv signal coverage area a badly shielded cable can also disrupt the digital FTA broadcast signal. With how my place was built and cabled I've got to switch off any HDMI-connected devices everytime I want to watch FTA :(

        Fwiw, wifi can even be blocked or degraded by the emissions (for want of a better word) given off by cheap TVs

    Might not be relevant with this length cable but flat hdmi's are nearly impossible to crimp if running to a wall plate or thru a tight space.

    I picked up my cable from Digital Cinema today.

    Very pleased with it.

    I would also say the staff were very friendly and not pushy at all - there was no attempted cross-sell/up-sell like you can get with some other Ozbargains.

    I even had a problem with my payment but the lovely pregnant lady sorted that out for me on the spot.

    All in all very happy. Thank you.
