Accell Connects Custom Home Theaters With New High Resolution HDMI Signal Repeater

January 9, 2006

Accell Corporation, a provider of premium audio/video interconnects and computer cables, today announced an extension to its new UltraRun™ line of premium HDMI™ and DVI™ cables. Accell's new UltraRun HDMI Signal Repeater connects two HDMI cables supporting extremely long cable runs of up to 160 feet. The UltraRun Signal Repeater is available now at $149.99 MSRP. Length limitations have been a critical challenge in the HDMI/DVI cable industry due to degradation and loss of signal integrity when using cables longer than 15 feet. The Accell UltraRun HDMI Signal Repeater equalizes and amplifies the digital signal and corrects the degradation before outputting the signal to the HD display for a crystal clear picture and sound. Featuring 24k gold-plated connectors, it supports up to 8 channel digital audio and up to 1080p high-resolution video. The signal repeater is also backwards compatible with DVI equipped components when using a standard HDMI to DVI adapter. Michael Weizer, Accell's Director of Marketing, noted, "Our UltraRun HDMI cables were the world's first copper conductor HDMI and DVI long run cables available in lengths of up to 147 feet. They featured an exclusive, miniature signal equalizer and booster to shatter the mark of 15 feet. With our new UltraRun HDMI Signal Repeater, we give consumers and installers a high performance, high resolution, and affordable video and audio solution that enables a truly custom installation." Geared for residential and commercial installers, the UltraRun line is the world's first affordable and truly long run HDMI and DVI cables that deliver a high-definition digital signal without noise or degradation. UltraRun cables are UL listed and CL-3 rated for in-wall installation. Installers now have the capability of positioning displays or projectors up to 45 meters away from the video source without the need for expensive fiber optic cables or combining cables using bulky repeaters.
