Mediabridge FLEX Series HDMI Cable 3'

34 AWG? I just don't know... I have always used Mediabridge ULTRA cables and have absolutely loved them. I ordered 5 of these FLEX cables (in both 3ft and 6ft lengths) prior to really doing my homework. I will list my concerns in the 'CONS' section below: Pros: - Cable arrived exactly as pictured. No complaints there. - The cable is VERY lightweight and should take a lot of strain off of the ports (mainly why I bought them). - Dust caps are a great touch. - Cable and connector quality seem to be very good. Cons: - Cable came in a resealable bag, and not the standard rugged box that the ULTRA cables come in. A minor detail, but it gave the cables more of a "cheap" feel right off the bat. Mainly psychological, I know, but still worth mentioning. - Resistance. I don't know much about it. But these cables have a higher resistance per foot than their BASIC cables (ULTRA cables are significantly less than both the FLEX and BASIC). - I don't trust the gauge. Most HDMI forums suggest the smallest diameter you should use to maintain full signal integrity is 28 AWG. These are 34 AWG. - Their "Certifications" are iffy. There is no indication to me that these cables meet or exceed HDMI standards, only that they "support" them. Yes in the pictures of the 6ft cables, there is a certification from HDMI Licensing LLC, but that only states that the company itself is a registered Adopter (which I verified on HDMI.org), not the cables themselves. Until more clarification on this matter is provided, I will keep my review at 3 stars. Piece of mind goes a long way.
