What does the cable have to do with it? The HDMI adapter even says "does not come with cable". If you are talking about the connector, they are $0.43 each on digikey.
If the rest of the HDMI adapter board looks anything like the VGA adapter, with just passives and a connector, then they would be making a profit charging only $3 for it, let alone the $15 they are asking.
- DannyBee 10y agoIf you ignore the cable, you still have an annual fee + per-product royalty (though the royalty is like 15 cents for HDMI) to have HDMI + HDCP. The annual fees are 5-10k for each (even in small volumes), and they may just be trying to make up the cost.
- unwiredben 10y agoBased on the BOM at https://github.com/NextThingCo/DIP-HDMI-PCB/blob/master/v1.0/BOM/BOM-DIP-HDMI-v1.0.pdf https://github.com/NextThingCo/DIP-HDMI-PCB/blob/master/v1.0..., you've got a Chrontel CH7035B HDMI interface chip, a serial EEPROM (probably used for EDID/HDCP key storage), and a LDO power supply for those chips. That definitely counts for the additional cost.
