I recently purchased two 3 or 4 foot HDMI cables from Monoprice and a HDMI switch box. The cables had the same sheathing as the picture and were rated for 1.3 as was the switch box.

When I run it all together using my old cable as the output to the receiver, it introduces pauses in the audio where my receiver shows no input signal. It happens on both sources using the new cables between source and switch.

I need to borrow a friends HDMI cable to test and see if it is the cables or the switch box introducing the signal loss.

As a side note, while I was first impressed with the sturdy sheathing as you see in his picture, I later found that it was overly stiff if you needed to coil it behind two devices that sit on the same shelf.

Monoprice is literally less than half what I pay for stuff locally so I'm hoping their after sale service will also be good on whichever I might discover I need to return.
