Approved Connectors

The Approved Category 3 Connectors List can be found under the Resources menu.

In accordance with version 1.4b of the HDMI^® Compliance Test Specification (“CTS”), HDMI^® Licensing Administrator, Inc. will maintain a list of approved connectors (“Approved Connector” list). For a device to pass CTS 1.4b testing at an Authorized Testing Center (“ATC”), all connectors on such device must appear on the Approved Connector list. To add a connector to this list, the system or connector vendor must test the connector at a qualified facility of the vendor's choosing, and the vendor must then submit to the ATC or HDMI Licensing Administrator, Inc. full and passing testing results as set forth in the Connector Test Result Form (“CTRF”). The CTRF is available on the Adopter Extranet. Only HDMI Adopters may add their products to the Approved Connector List

Successful completion of the CTRF and/or ATC Testing, and the fact that a connector is listed as an “Approved Connector” below, does not guarantee that any connector or product will conform to the High-Definition Multimedia Interfaces, function correctly or interoperate with any other product. Each Adopter is solely responsible for ensuring that its products function correctly, fully comply with the HDMI Specification and Adopter Agreement, and interoperate with other products.

Policy for Model Names of Approved Connector List

A single complete model number is required per each HF-CTRF submitted for listing. Family model numbers are not allowed in connector model numbers. If you have questions regarding this policy or the process for getting your connectors on the list, please contact admin@hdmi.org

All existing connectors currently listed on the Approved Connector List are valid until further notice.
