5.0 out of 5

5.0 out of 5 stars First one was not reliable, but amazing customer service resolved the problem (read below)
When using with an RPi5 on either micro-HDMI port it only works sometimes. When it does work, if I move the cable the slightest bit the video cuts out. I've tested the RPi5 ports independently by using a Waveshare Dual 4K Micro HDMI to HDMI Adapter and the ports work fine, so I know it's something wrong with the cable.[Edit] After contacting the seller, we discovered that the old monitor and/or old HDMI cable and/or possibly the RPi 5 HDMI chipset is somehow part of the problem. A signal strength weaker than the RPi 5 expects to see on the HDMI cable is preventing EDID from properly identifying the monitor. When using a new 8k HDMI cable was used instead of my old HDMI cable, the adapter worked well and was stable. I also retested the Waveshare adapter with my old cable and that still works. So it's impossible to tell what combination of factors is involved that causes this adapter to fail when the Waveshare adapter succeeds in the same scenario. There is something somehow just enough different between the adapters that results in this one being unstable in this particular use case. So, I suppose the take-home of this is to make sure that if you want to use this adapter to connect an old AOC monitor to the RPi 5 that you are using a 4k or 8k HDMI cable from the adapter back to the monitor. I'm updating the rating to 4 stars.[Edit 2] Amazing customer service. As a result of my long conversation with the seller, and the types of tests and analysis that I performed, the seller anticipated that it might just be a defective adapter so they sent me TWO replacements. I'm happy to report that BOTH of the two replacements work fine with my Raspberry Pi 5 and old cable and monitor! This clearly indicates that first one I got was defective in some subtle way. Now I can confirm that this product is fine for use even for older monitors and old HDMI cable when connected to RPi 5. Because of the phenomenal customer service, I'm updating my review again, to 5 stars!
5.0 out of 5 stars must have standard pi5 desktop accessory
Unless using a special breakout board that converts the micro-HDMI ports on the pi4/pi5 to full-size HDMI, in order to use most modern/HDMI monitors conveniently, you need to match the standard connector size.Since the dawn of the pi4, this has meant carrying around dongles with the raspberry pi, to do just that.I have to admit: I went in expecting the standard. It is a dongle, what else is going on?Two things I noticed right off the bat: the connector edge on the micro-HDMI connector on these dongles was blue instead of black, reminding me of the common distinction between USB3 (blue) and USB2 (black). Not that I’m claiming or saying there’s any such improvement happening here, but I admit, the thought of “better” naturally pops in my mind. If that was in any way intended- well played.Making the physical connection feels more satisfying. I could swear there was an extra/final click to signify the dongle was inserted all the way. I don’t recall experiencing this on any of the other micro-HDMI dongles I’ve used on the pi 4/5. Maybe I’m just imagining that too, but if not: I have likely elevated these to be my primary set of dongles to use on the pi.The cable part of the dongles are braided, which again, add an enhanced visual aesthetic, whether or not that influences performance in any way.As far as actual operation: they work as you would expect. No issue, no extra configuration.I do have to say, they feel less cheap than the other dongles I’ve used. I’ve even experienced a dongle giving out after too much use (plugging/unplugging), so that is something I’m always mindful of when using these cables. This product alleviates some of those concerns. Only time will tell if that proves to be true.So, if you like nice things, and feel you deserve nice things, why not invest in what seems like a better version of an otherwise innocuous part?Audiophiles go crazy over their gold-plated cables. Extreme PC builders break out their LED power cables. Why not trick out your pi5 bling with something that (at the very least) subjectively feels better than the sea of generic-feeling versions of this otherwise innocuous cable?And if it does prove to be more durable/higher quality? All the better.
5.0 out of 5 stars Raspberry Pi Perfection! Robust Connectors.
At a price less than ten dollars each, these are still priced very well for this quality. To have the 8K ability and the robust casings around the connectors with the braided cable and effective strain relief puts a premium on such an item. With regard to a converter that has all of the hardware inside of a molded plug without the cable, I prefer to take the load of the converter away from the connector in the board, where it would essentially have a lever made out of the adapter which would multiply the forces applied to the connector and thus make it more susceptible to damage. In my opinion, this is a more reliable solution which removes the leverage from the connector and displaces it totally off of the board. The fact that the Pi has two HDMI connectors and this is a pack of two converters makes it convenient and offers both monitors identical hardware to make it look nicer as well as offer uniformity.Obviously, if it works on the Pi to convert the HDMI form factor from one to another, it will work in any application that requires a similar conversion. The gold plated connections are a very welcome characteristic since they will have better reliability over time since they will resist oxidation and a resulting increase in signal loss. Although other metals may offer better conductivity at particular frequencies, the impediment of oxidation represents a greater potential degradation of signal over time. Since I have been using these types of conversion cables for years on my A/V equipment, I have kept many of my cables for along period of time and thus feel the gold plating is best for my application(s).
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for raspberry pi
We needed a micro hdmi male to hdmi female cord for use with our raspberry pi and this is perfect and works great.
