Monster Introduces Breakthrough SuperThin HDMI Cable

Monster Introduces Breakthrough “SuperThin Cable™ for HDMI™”


Developed in Collaboration With RedMere, New Powered SuperThin
Cables for HDMI Are Ideal for Elegant Flat-Panel TV Installations and
Use with Mobile HD Devices


NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Monster, the world's leading manufacturer of
cables, AV accessories, and power conditioning products,
today announced the introduction of a new line of “Powered” SuperThin
Cables for HDMI Cables specifically designed for use with a wide
variety of electronics devices, ranging from today’s super-slim
flat-panel TVs to digital video cameras, home theater systems, gaming
systems or portable computers. The new Monster SuperThin Cables for
HDMI are the first fruits of a recently announced collaboration with
RedMere, a leader in advanced silicon chip development. Monster Super
Thin Cable for HDMI products will be available in 4-, 8-, and 16-foot
versions in the DigitalLife line of products (DL HDMI HSMI-4, DL HDMI
HSMI-8, DL HDMI HSMI-16). Monster’s Core line of cables for HDMI will
also offer a SuperThin cable design in 1, 2, 4 and 5 meter lengths.


HD Signals Are Boosted in the Cable Itself


With the introduction of SuperThin Cable for HDMI, Monster is
continuing to follow through on its commitment to provide consumers
with a comprehensive range of high-quality, reliable connectivity
solutions for every need and budget. The key innovation that made the
creation of Monster SuperThin Cables for HDMI possible is the RedMere
MagnifEye Active technology. Requiring no external power supply the
technology enables industry-leading data speeds and ultimate-quality
performance by boosting the HD signals directly in the SuperThin cable
itself. This eliminates the need for heavy-gauge copper, making the
cables extremely light, thin and portable. SuperThin cables measure
just 3.5 mm in diameter, approximately 65% thinner than normal HDMI
cables.



“Super-Slim TVs Need Monster SuperThin Cables”


Monster’s new SuperThin cables for HDMI are poised to usher in a
new era of convenience and elegance in high-performance cable
management, both at home and on-the-go. Featuring a built-in LED
indicator that instantly lets users know they are active, the virtually
invisible cables are ideal for use in aesthetically designed home
theater installations utilizing flat-panel TVs. Consumers can literally
hide the cables away in plain sight, as well as fit them into any tight
corners for a new level of installation flexibility. Additionally, the
compact and lightweight cables, which include handy cable ties, are
ideal for taking on the road with camcorders or other mobile digital
devices. Their easy portability provides users with a fast and
convenient way to connect camcorders or other digital devices to
notebook computers or other display. For total reliability and
performance, the new cables feature corrosion-resistant 24k gold
contacts.


Noted Noel Lee, the Head Monster: “Monster built our reputation on
thick, heavy gauge high-quality cables with unequalled performance
capabilities. Now, thanks to our alliance with RedMere and the
leading-edge MagnifEye Active technology, we’re able to provide our
customers with the same level of Monster quality and reliability in a
brand new type of ‘magically thin’ cable. The difference is immediately
apparent – SuperThin cables are much smaller and lighter, matching the
sleek appearance of the consumer electronics products they connect.
Whether you want a totally clean-looking virtually invisible
installation option for your HDTV or you just want a much better and
more convenient way to access HD content while on-the-go, there’s never
been anything like our new super-thin cables.”
