What connectors would work best for this cable? As I am reading that installing some connectors can prove difficult. Will it work with HD?

I used the PPC Ex6xLPlus, and they work great with this cable. If you have never used stripping and crimping tools before, perform a few test runs, before performing the final installation. Also, this cable does work with HD.

I bought this kit Klein Tools VDV002-818 Coax Installation and Testing Kit, from Amazon. The connectors are F-type. Works great with HD. Whatever connectors u buy, u will probably need a special crimp tool. This kit is perfect. Good luck. Enjoy

I just used rg6 connectors and it worked fine. I have since bought the new type of connectors that the cable guys use but haven't use any yet.

The connectors that I used say "PPC EX6 13". They work really well and yes HD is installed all through my house. Under a label that was on the PPC bag is says "EX6XLPLUS". I hope this helps.

You can order an adapter easier. Check Amazon for a 800 to 400 They are so cheap and easier to carryI was looking into this myself except I have a few three port external HDs and I just use that set upEasy either way. The cables will recognize... I do it all the time in the above situation.

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, you can use the existing cable if it is standard SATA. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

It should work with all hdmi sources but after 2 weeks my HD cable box demanded to be disconnected from it. PC data may cause the same issue.

I used two of the 3WARE Cable, 1 Unit Of 1 Meter Multi-lane Internal (SFF-8087) Serial Ata Breakout cables sold on amazon's site. They keep your cabling neat and have plenty of length to easily plug in hard drives in the largest case sizes. Hope this helps.

Western digital has a series of hds that work fine. Make sure it is meant for a DVD not a computer. I bought it from Staples. No problem installing it.

I don't know why it didn't work for your application. I think you should consider the fact that at least 1/6 of the purchasers had trouble with this cable. With that in mind, even though it worked for me I can't really recommend this cable for your application.Good luck finding a different cable.v

I don't have that hard drive but my HD doesn't work with the hub so I suspect yours probably will not work either. The HD is one of the few things that doesn't work.

There are more port options HDs than there are branded HDs. You would first need to specify which port option you are seeking to connect to.

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc...Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?

Don't know enough to answer your questions about all drives in the world. But It worked like a champ on my old Western Digital 10 GB IDE drive. Can't figure why it wouldn't work on most other working IDE drives. Had no occasion to try the SATA cable yet. Can only assume it would work similarly. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I don,t think so. Usually Hd is digital and component plugs are analog. I tried the same thing and it did,t work for me.

Sergio.....I wish I could be of assistance to you. But this was a gift for a "techie" friend and have no idea re: the cables. My apologies and I hope you find the correct answer.

It does work with HD, that I know off the top of my head. I have the packaging at home and will check after work for you. I would be REALLY surprised if it wasn't compatible with that resolution! I HIGHLY recommend this if you need a DVI-D to VGA adapter. I will check though and get back to you by tomorrow.

I have it used for both types of HD. Basically it allowed me to use hard drive removed from my old PC as an external device. If the HD that you trying ro read is corrupted, than you will not see anything on the screen. Cables are just a link between HD and PC.

I don't know. This is beyond my expertise. I am using from an pad to my computer or my monitor. Haven't tried a hard drive. Seems as though you need an external power supply for the HD. It then might work.

Thanks! That makes sense. I did get a message that said something about HDCP. Can you recommend any HDMI cables that are HDCP compatible? I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on one, but maybe I just have to. I also read on avsforum about firmware updates, etc. I guess I'll try a new cable before contacting Samsung.
