Ferrite Core?? - Blu-ray Forum

what exactly does that mean and is there any difference/performance issue from non ferrite core to having a ferrite core?

In regards to what- a cable?

Specifically, the ferrite core is the large "knob" in some cables that's used to keep the signal clean and remove interference. Check the wiki:

so it makes no difference if my hdmi cable has one or not?

I have one HDMI that has one and one that doesn't. It certainly doesn't hurt anything to have one but I can't say that having one specifically helps me. If they're about the same price, I'd get one with it, but I wouldn't knock myself out trying to find one that has it.

well i ordered them from monoprice w/ferrite cord and they were 7-9 bucks cheaper(i had to buy 3)

just wanted to make sure im not losing any quality or whatever by buying the ferrite cord cables.

anything under 10ft, I would buy the 28awg which come with the ferrite cores.

What are the bumps at the end of computer cables?

You can buy them separately and add them to your cables to reduce interference. Parts Express is a good source.
