Panasonic say they are the first, but we already saw that no, Sony introduced before the cables. These cables can be rotated 180 degrees, with an angle of 90 degrees in order to have less room for separation between the wall and the device where you plug it. According to Panasonic will save up to 6 inches of space. Panasonic will sell the two sizes, one 1.5 meters long and another 3 meters.

The cables are not changes, they keep the bandwidth of 10.2Gbps and video support at 1080p.
