Honeywell 7000 Series HDMI Cables

The HDMI Cable Building Process: Each connector is terminated in a 55 step process that takes about 30 minutes to complete. The length tolerance for all 19 conductors is 0.5 mm. The cables are soldered or heated tacked via IR to the board in the connector. All Honeywell HDMI cables are Eye Pattern tested to ensure quality. Eye Pattern Test results are included with each Honeywell HDMI cable.

A. Each HDMI cable is made of 19 conductors included 4 shielded twisted pair. The length tolerance for each conductor is 0.5mm. B. To prepare each HDMI for termination, the braid is pulled back and secured. Before the conductors can be soldered to the board the individual insulators must be stripped back to the minimum amount possible to reveal the silver plated copper wires. Careful attention must be paid to maintaining the twists of the TMDS lines to ensure inter-pair and intra-pair SKU is not induced. C. Precision soldering is critical. Any solder spilled onto its adjacent lead will require the connector to be scrapped. D. Once the 19 conductors are soldered to the leads, the first round of testing verifies a perfect connection. After verification of proper soldering, a premold is injected to permanently hold the connections in place. After the premold, the second round of testing verifies the connections are still perfect. E. Over the premold a copper shielding tape provides further protection from interference.

F. The first overmold process creates the red global arc. After this step the third round of testing verifies the integrity of the connection. The white part of the overmold is injected next, followed by a fourth round of testing. Finally the Honeywell and HDMI logos are applied and the cable is ready to be submitted for eye pattern testing.

In addition to the Eye Pattern Tests like the one being administered above, 100% of Honeywell HDMI cables, 10 meters and longer, are used to watch 1080p source material on a HDTV for real-life visual inspection as a final quality control procedure.
