UGREEN HDMI Extension Cable 4K HDMI Extender 1.5FT Male to Female Adapter Cord Compatible with Roku TV Stick PS5 PS4 Xbox Laptop PC Nintendo Switch Blu Ray Player Google Chromecast Wii U HDTV

I have a Firestick that was not giving me good quality pictures and the sound cut out and back in every few minutes on a TV that requires me to use the HDMI extender (that came with Firestick). My TV’s design has an indentation around the HDMI ports and there is not enough space in the indentation to slide the length of Firestick directly into the port without using the extender cable. I took the Firestick to a second residence and used it in a TV where I was able to plug Firestick directly into TV’s HDMI port (without using extender) and it worked flawlessly. This was an indication that my Firestick itself is not faulty. As a test, at our second residence, I used the extender cable with Firestick to see if it would mimic the same problems with picture quality and sound cutting out. I could not get Firestick to connect at all with the extender cable. I got an error message that it had no signal. This confirmed for me the problem is likely an issue with the extender cable.After researching symptoms with Firestick of poor picture and sound cutting out, I ran across a post advising readers to remove extender. Because that is not possible with the design of my TV, I decided to buy a new HDMI cable to see if it solved my problem. I purchesed the UGREEN HDMI extender in 3′ length. I read that it is high speed in the description and felt it was worth a try for the low cost. I purchased the longer (3′) cable allowing my Firestick to lay flat behind my TV on the stand rather than a shorter cable that left it dangling behind TV.I have used the Firestick wih the UGREEN HDMI cable several times and the picture is crystal clear and there is no issue with sound cutting out. I don’t know if the extender that came with my Firestick was just bad, or if the (high speed) UGREEN cable made the difference, or if simply having the longer cable (so that the Firestick did not have to dangle) made the difference. In any event, I am extremely pleased that my problem was solved with this cable and definitely recommend it to others that may be experiencing the issues I was having.
