Monster, the world's leading manufacturer of HDMI cables, AV accessories, and power conditioning products, is proud to announce that SimplayTM Labs has speed verified the data rates of Monster’s Speed Rated HDMI Cables. Monster’s “Core” line of HDMI cables spans 4 performance levels including 10.2 Gbps (the current HDMI specification maximum) Monster High-Speed and three high performance levels at 14.3 Gbps Monster Advanced High Speed, 15.8 Gbps Monster Ultra High Speed and 17.8 Gbps Monster Ultimate High Speed. Noel Lee, the Head Monster, noted: “Simplay speed verification for our speed-rated HDMI cables is yet another indication of Monster’s leading edge technological prowess and our commitment to providing our customers with unmatched connectivity solutions, now and in the future. The current HDMI specification recognizes 3D technology, wider color palettes and higher pixel density 4K displays, all advancements that will greatly impact data rate and cable bandwidth requirements. Today’s new Monster HDMI cables have the bandwidth to deliver the capabilities of these new technologies simultaneously. So when future components demand an even larger ‘data pipe’ they will be ready if they have a Monster HDMI cable. It’s not a matter of if there will be higher data rates, but when. To meet higher bandwidth needs, Monster has increased the performance of our speed-rated HDMI cables, removing the fear of obsolescence.” New Cable Verification Regimen The collaboration of Monster with Simplay Labs for speed verification of cables is breaking new ground. “The performance and data rates which Monster is achieving with its cables are unprecedented and truly impressive,” commented Joseph Lias, president of Simplay Labs. “We have tested and verified Monster’s HDMI Cables confirming that they deliver the rated bandwidth.” Monster’s increased-performance HDMI cables ensure their customers that their cables will deliver maximum picture and sound quality when used with any of today’s advanced high definition home entertainment components. Monster is Ensuring Current and Future HDMI Performance In addition to Simplay Speed verification, to provide the ultimate in consumer confidence, all Monster Cables for HDMI at the 1000 level and higher carry the company’s “Cable for Life” performance guarantee.
