I knew that all HDMI cables are the same, just wondering because this one says it's specifically for "XBOX 360".

Nope, should be no difference unless it's a special xbox HDMI connector but then it wouldn't be an HDMI cable.

Hi, :)

 

So I have this HDMI cable that says it's for an XBOX 360. Will it work for my PC?

 

I was using the HDMI cable that came with my monitor, it has 2 ferrite cores. The XBOX one has no ferrite cores, but it is flat.

 

So which one will work better?

PC:

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X | AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE | 32 GB RAM | Arch Linux

Laptop:

MacBook Pro 13" (2019) | Intel Core i5 8279U | 8 GB RAM | macOS

Server:

Intel Core i7 6700K | 16 GB RAM | 2 TB HDD | Debian Linux

There is no "better" hdmi cable than one what works. If it works its good.
