Abstract:
1. A cable for transmitting media data, the cable comprising: a first connector comprising a micro-USB connector including a first plurality of conductive points for establishing a connection with a media transmitter, the first plurality of conductive points comprising at most five conductive points, the media transmitter comprising one or more of a mobile phone, a laptop computer, and a tablet computer; a second connector comprising a second plurality of conductive points for establishing a connection with a media receiver; a base member mechanically supporting the second connector; an integrated circuit enclosed by the base member and connected to the second plurality of conductive points and configured for converting USB data, received via the at most five conductive points of the first plurality of conductive points of the micro-USB connector, into HDMI data, the integrated circuit comprising a connection pad having a third plurality of conductive points; and a flexible member extending between the first connector and the base member, the flexible member comprising a plurality of wires interconnecting the first plurality of conductive points of the first connector and the third plurality of conductive points of the connection pad, a portion of the flexible member protruding into the base member and being rigidly supported by the base member, for reducing stress on connections between the plurality of wires of the flexible member and the third plurality of conductive points of the connection pad.
