The price you pay for an HDMI cable can very wildly and under most circumstances a<br />
low-cost cable from a reputable online or local supplier will be absolutely fine, but the<br />
definition of what constitutes 'low cost' can vary wildly - for example, in the UK, a 1m<br />
cable can be purchased for anything between £1 and £24.99. If, however, you want to<br />
drive a display some distance from the <strong>RPi</strong> (say greater than the ubiquitous 1.8m/6ft), or<br />
you are using a video switch to share a display between several devices, then higher<br />
quality cables might be wise - for example, a pair of 1m HDMI cables purchased in a UK<br />
'pound shop' worked fine when directly connected between the <strong>RPi</strong> and a display, but<br />
would not give a stable picture when used via an HDMI switch. Replacing the £1 1m<br />
cable with a 1.5m cable bought online for £1.30 fixed the problem. For more insight:<br />
Why you don't need to spend more than £2 on an HDMI cable<br />

Additional Peripherals<br />
You may decide you want to use various other devices with your <strong>RPi</strong>, such as Flash<br />
Drives/Portable Hard Drives, Speakers etc.<br />
For detailed information see <strong>RPi</strong> Verified Peripherals.<br />
Internet Connectivity<br />
This may be an Ethernet/LAN cable (standard RJ45 connector) or a USB WiFi adaptor.<br />
The <strong>RPi</strong> ethernet port is auto-sensing which means that it may be connected to a router or<br />
directly to another computer (without the need for a crossover cable [1] ).<br />
Support for USB WiFi adaptors will vary - see <strong>RPi</strong> Verified Peripherals.
