HDMI Extender not working

We recently purchased several Roku Sticks. We requested and received the free HDMI extender so that we can use the Stick on TVs that have HDMI ports close to the wall. We've been using the Roku stick...

I recently purchased and attempted to setup a new Roku Stream Stick + with an old Vizio (2007) television.  I've never used one of these devices and so I could use some help troubleshooting.

I connected the Streaming Stick to my TV using the Roku HDMI extender cable and used the Roku supplied power adapter to power the device.  The device blinks white (2 blinks, pause, 2 blinks, pause...etc.).

I have tried plugging into both of my TV's HDMI ports and have selected the appropriate input from the TV menu...but I see no picture.  Instead, the TV displays the message, "No signal detected."

I tried rebooting the Stick by unplugging the device, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging back in.  No dice...  I also successfully tested the HDMI extender cable.  Unfortunately, I do not own another TV for testing.

Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply.  I've tested the cable by connecting another hdmi device to my desktop computer and it seemed to be working fine.
