Question Not sure what to call what I am looking for in relation to HDMI

[punkncat]

I have a LP (half height) GTX 750ti, not positive think it is a Gigabyte card inside a Milo 11 case and have run into a minor issue.
With the graphics card mounted and screwed to the backplate I cannot get an HDMI cable to seat in it far enough to get video out. If I leave it loose from the backplate I can barely push the card over enough to get it, but it is unreliable that way and sometimes loses signal.

I attempted to cut away part of the plastic "shoulder" end of a cable to allow room for just the male connector socket to go in but apparently got into something in the cable and ruined it. I have tried searching various ways for an "extension" or "adapter" but am getting a variety of things aside from what I think I need, which would basically just be either a cable with a longer (metal) end, or some manner of end that is narrow/no shoulder. I have everything from cheapo cables to really nice braided ones and they all pretty much have the same length on that metal male connector part.

I hope y'all know what I am asking about and what parameter to search. Prefer Amazon if anyone can link me.

The HDMI end should be standard, no one makes a different one. Only real difference between plugs should be the plastic/metal housing.

The problem is definitely the stamped ridge they added for stiffness. I would say cut out the one that is in your way, file the sharp edges. The card being in place should add back all the rigidity a chassis like that needs. Surprised they even bothered, low profile slots have a much shorter gap to fill.

I had considered that but was hoping not to have to mod the case that way. Exactly as you say though, there is a "roll" of metal there that keeps the cable that 1/16th out of plugging all the way in.

Other option is to strip the computer down, lay that expansion slot strip against a hard surface and go to town with a hammer to flatten it. Cutting it out is easier.

Lol, yeah...not gonna go hitting it with a hammer. I guess this will be a good excuse to get a "zizz-wheel".
