Our take on the Planet Waves HDMI Port Saver

by Steve Kindig

Planet Waves' HDMI Port Saver adapters solve depth, angle, and attachment issues when mounting a flat-panel TV to the wall. Simply connect the Port Saver to one of your TV's HDMI inputs before you install the TV, then you can plug your HDMI cable into the Port Saver's socket end after the TV is mounted. That way, you avoid sharply bending your HDMI cable, which can hurt performance. Maintains High Speed HDMI 1.4 spec for full support of 1080p video.

This Port Saver can also be locked to any Planet Waves HDMI cable with the HDMILok clip from Planet Waves.

Just what I needed

Written By Jake, Murrieta, CA on Thursday, June 23, 2011

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

I recently ran some HDMI cables through the wall and after hanging the TV they just weren't quite long enough! I was a bit panicked so I did some searching on the Internet and saw these cables. They not only gave me the extra "fudging" room I required but the right angle also helps the aesthetics tremendously because two of my connections are on the side of the TV so now you can't see any cord at all. They're perfect for what I needed. Thanks Crutchfield and Planet Waves!
