Hi Guys
I bought a mounting bracket for my LED TV, fitted it to the Wall and bolted it up

However!
When I came to mount the TV on to it I found out the HDMI cables protude out preventing me from getting the TV up on the wall!
I found this little device to connect the HDMI cable to get me some space, however I am worried about twisting the HDMI Cable.
I need a side angle connector because I dont cables running on to the floor for easy reach for my little un.

My question is, will the twisting of the cable cause any damage to it and will it be electrically safe (such as sparks and such)?
Thanks

How about

or

Make sure you get one with the socket facing downwards (assuming you want the cable to go down the wall)

It's all too common, which is why brackets come with spacers allowing you to space it off the bracket to allow room for cables.

Many Sony sets in particular are exceptionally stupid in this regard, and we carry a range of different adaptors in order to get them as flush as possible.

Aerial sockets are particularly bad - and it's VERY difficult to source 90 degree coax adaptors - and when you can they are VERY expensive. On alternative is 90 degree F connector to coax plug, which are cheap and easily available - you just have to fit an F connector on the aerial lead.
