Connects legacy MHL phones to HDMI displays
The Manhattan 151498 cable links a 5-pin Micro USB port on compatible Samsung, HTC, LG or Sony smartphones to an HDMI input on a TV, monitor or projector. It carries video up to 1080p resolution and eight-channel digital audio for multimedia playback. A separate USB-A connector draws power from a wall charger to keep the phone charged during use. This adapter suits owners of older MHL-enabled handsets who want big-screen output.
Sustained playback stays stable with external power
Because the USB-A tail feeds the phone from a wall adapter, the handset battery does not drain during long viewing sessions. The copper conductors maintain a steady 1080p signal without the compression artefacts that wireless casting can introduce. Audio remains in sync over extended periods since the link is wired and does not depend on network bandwidth. The arrangement works as long as the charger supplies adequate current for the specific phone model.
Three male plugs demand careful cable routing
The cable terminates in three male connectors: HDMI, 5-pin Micro USB and USB-A, all finished in black. Each plug must seat fully in its respective port, so tight spaces behind wall-mounted screens or crowded power strips can make insertion awkward. The fixed tails cannot be detached, meaning the whole assembly travels together and stores as a single bundle. Users should verify their device appears on the MHL compatibility list before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does the 5-pin Micro USB connector draw noticeable power or generate heat during extended playback?
The cable includes a standard USB-A plug for external power so the phone charges while mirroring; the copper conductors stay cool under normal use.
What power source must I already have to use the USB-A connector on this cable?
Any USB wall charger or powered USB port that delivers 5 V will supply the extra power required for MHL output.
Will the HDMI male plug work with an older 720p projector that only has HDMI 1.3?
Yes, the cable carries up to 1080p video and eight-channel audio over HDMI, which is backward compatible with earlier HDMI versions.
