Full details

FAQs
What is the main purpose of this adapter?
The Lindy CROMO HDMI Female to Female Coupler is used to connect two standard HDMI cables together, effectively extending the length of your HDMI connection.
Does this adapter convert HDMI to another format?
No, this is a passive adapter. It simply joins two HDMI Type A cables and does not convert signals (e.g., from HDMI to DVI or analog).
What is the significance of the gold-plated contacts?
Gold plating provides excellent conductivity for a stable signal transfer and is resistant to corrosion and tarnishing, ensuring a more reliable and long-lasting connection compared to standard metal contacts.
Can I use this adapter to connect my computer to a monitor?
Yes, as long as both your computer and monitor have standard HDMI Type A ports, you can use this coupler to extend the connection between them.
Will this adapter work with 4K resolution?
This coupler supports Full HD 1080p and above. For reliable 4K transmission, especially over extended cable lengths, it's recommended to use HDMI cables specifically rated for 4K and consider active solutions if combining multiple passive cables.
Is the housing metal or plastic?
The Lindy CROMO HDMI Female to Female Coupler features a shielded, diecast metal housing for durability and signal protection.
Do I need to install any drivers for this adapter?
No, this is a passive hardware adapter and does not require any drivers or software installation. It works plug-and-play.
Troubleshooting
No video or audio signal after connecting
Ensure both HDMI cables are fully inserted into the coupler and the source/display devices. Verify that the source device is powered on and the correct input is selected on the display. Test the HDMI cables individually without the coupler to confirm they are working.
Intermittent signal loss or flickering screen
Check that the HDMI cables are securely connected. Ensure the coupler's gold-plated contacts are clean and free of debris. Consider trying higher quality, certified HDMI cables, as signal integrity can be affected by cable quality over longer combined runs.
Picture quality is poor or shows artifacts
Confirm that the combined length of the HDMI cables does not exceed recommended limits for passive cables (typically around 15-25 meters for reliable 1080p). For longer runs, an active HDMI extender or repeater might be necessary. Ensure the source content resolution matches your display's capabilities.
