What is the use of this connecter? One side is HDMI input and it just makes it input again? I'm so confused, please help me

It’s for TVs that have a weird angle in the back/wall mount. My Amazon fire stick didn’t fit because of those reasons. This adapter helps with this problem.

They also have it for extension cords. Extremely handy.

Try to plug in a fire stick into a HDMI port on the back of a TV against a wall. That’s what that’s for.
It’s just a short extension cable, they usually are provided with devices like the Microsoft wireless display adapter.
Have you ever tried changing cables on a wall mounted tv where the hole’s in the lower middle pointing up for some reason?

No.
Infinite FPS
Yes, it’s an extender!
Easier to plug in a HDMI cord at a strange angle/tight space. No real use for it otherwise as far as I know.
I use these so as to not put wear and tear on consoles HDMI ports.
Extension cord
you still get them with Firesticks iirc
It allows you to fit a device like an Amazon stick in where there might not be room behind the tv
Dongles are also for users and businesses that constantly plug and unplug. Instead of wearing out the port, you juat wear out the dongle and buy a new one.
HDMI extender, likely came with your Fire Stick.
That’s an hdmi to hdmi converter how could you not know OP? You know nothing about tech at all!
/s
It’s just an extender.
Self pollination
i initially thought these 2 images were 2 different cables, and OP was having trouble connecting them, lmao
Amazon fire stick was too thick and blocking one of the other ports, so got one of these
Plug it in itself and you will get a magic projector that is wireless and will be like a hologram. It has a 0.2389% chance of exploding tho. But most chance is that it won’t.
it’s an extension cord, it is useful for connecting cables to ports in places the HDMI output can’t fit, or can’t reach easily
In broadcast we call them port savers, to prevent the HDMI ports on expensive equipment from been wornout or broken.
It’s an HDMI to HDMI adapter. Is that so difficult to understand?
my OG chromecast’s came with these since they are just a dongle and might stick out / interfere in a weird way
Yeah, that’s for the fire stick sticking out with little clearance on the back of your tv.
It can also be used if you have a hdmi with a ”fat” connector, and you need to put more than one in a small space next to each other. See how the ‘male’ version of that connector is much much smaller? It fits better between others.
Lets you see more than 30fps with the human eye
I think it’s great for getting around HDCP
Maybe A HDMI decoder
that’s a fire tv stick extender that comes in the box with it

It’s for smart sticks you plug into the TV to get Android tv (like google chromecast or mi stick). Those tend to have a thumb drive style output. Also could be helpful in case of projectors or presentation screens that are often used(I still have nightmares about old and barely alive VGA ports after decades of service)
Yeah that sure is hard to figure out. I can see why you’d be confused. 🤦🏼♂️
