The "Wide" adapter has the wide part of the plug closest to the female jack. The "Narrow" adapter has the narrow part of the plug closest to the female jack. If the HDMI port on your TV is oriented with the wide part on top (and the narrow part below) the "Wide" adapter will point up and the "Narrow" adapter will point down. Obviously if the TV's HDMI jack is oriented the other way (upside down) these positions will be reversed. This is we don't call the adapters "up" and "down" because it depends how the TV's HDMI jack is oriented.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Use wide to redirect a cable from an LG or SONY TV - note whether the narrow or wide side is in the bend. If you pick narrow in that case, it will direct your cable the wrong way. I use 2 at a time X 3 cables to redirect cable180 degrees.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The narrow HDMI adapter does not extend as far out as a 90 deg HDMI adapter. The wide HDMI adapter extends out farther and helps to clear the edge of some HDTV or other video devices plastic enclosures. I used the wide model for a difficult HDMI port on a HDTV in a RV that pivots 180 deg. It worked great in this application.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It has to do with the angle and orientation needed. Best to take an image with you or view same model in store.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe it means that the bend is toward the wide side of the HDMI connector vs the narrow side.
