A high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) plug on an HDMI cable assembly includes an indicator light that is illuminated only when both ends of the cable are plugged into a video source and a video sink. Embodiments include an HDMI plug that comprises a connector body having a mating end configured for insertion into a mating HDMI receptacle and containing electrical pins configured according to HDMI specifications, the pins including a +5V Power pin, a Ground pin, and a Hot Plug Detect pin. The HDMI plug further comprises an indicator circuit that includes a light-emitting diode and a transistor switch in series with the light emitting-diode, wherein the light-emitting diode and transistor switch are coupled to the +5V Power pin, Ground pin, and Hot Plug Detect pin so that the light-emitting diode is activated only when both the +5V Power pin and Hot Plug Detect pin are energized. |
