Something's not right. I ordered a 25' High Speed HDMI cable from them, and the thing's thicker than the power cable to my oven.

I think they must have 100kV lines running through their building or something.
 
be careful with that cable; if you wobble the connector while it's plugged in, it may weaken or break the solder connections for the HDMI port in the equipment.

This happened to me with an HDMI port on my receiver. Now that port doesn't work.
 
The only cable they had that was 25ft. and certified for High Speed 1080p60 was 22AWG. I figured it was necessary and didn't realize just how big it would be. (There's something like 19 conductors?!) Later, I found out that other places have certified cables that are 26AWG.

It's definitely better to have a lower gauge the further you're going though.
