There are 4 different styles of Right Angle HDMI adapters offered by Show Me Cables. Each one, having its own purpose to provide you with the most convenient and efficient connection. The adapters provide you with versatility in your cable routing to maintain a clean, professional appearance. Depending on your equipment, you may need to route your cables either to the left, in which case you can use part number 3009. Or to the right, in which case you can use part number 1174. You may need to route your cables vertically, either in an upwards direction, in which case you can use part number 1176. Or downwards, in which case you can use part number 3606 In order to figure out the orientation of the adapter you will need, the best way to look at it is to consider the flat side of an HDMI connection as the “top”. That way, if your equipment is oriented vertically, you can look at the flat side and determine which way you want to route your cable. For example, for a vertically oriented HDMI port, if the flat side is on the left and you want to route your cables to the right. You’ll need to consider the flat side as the top, meaning you will need a downward angle HDMI adapter in order to route your cables off to the right. Right Angle HDMI adapters are a quick and easy way to perfect the look of your home theater setup.
