Ultralink/XLO Announces Premium DVI-D Cables

27-Oct-03

Ultralink, a division of Ultralink/XLO Products, Inc., is now shipping their Videophile Pro DVI-D dual-link digital video interface cable. The 24-pin male to 24-pin male cable includes a proprietary connector and cable solution for pure digital video transfers. Ultralink's DVI-D solutions are now shipping in pre-terminated lengths from 1 to 10 meters with suggested retail prices from $80 to $220, respectively. ""As source and display resolution gets better and better, the sheer volume of data and the speed and accuracy of its transmission become the limiting factors in actually achieving the potential performance of today's products,"" stated Don Bouchard, Sales and Marketing Vice President. ""Cables are the most pervasive component in the entire system. They deserve the consideration of design and investment at least equal to that of any other major component in the system. A well thought-out and properly designed cabling solution will insure that much of the system's potential performance isn't left in the box. Our new DVI-D cable is the best available and will give the customer every bit of the performance that they paid for and expect. As part of a complete Ultralink cabling system, it will raise the entire level of performance--as if each and every component in that system had been upgraded,"" Bouchard concluded. A special Ultralink-designed injection-molded connector and termination method was developed for the interface. The connector can support ATSC resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 and 24-bit color. Proprietary micro-welding technology is used for the very fine conductors with no foreign metal usage to improve both performance and reliability. Contacts are 24k gold-plated directly to the conductor and are provided on all 24 pins of the dual-link interface. To insure the longest signal transfer, an ultra-low-loss nitrogen-injected dielectric has been specified for the cable. Ultralink's 100-ohm DVI cable systems are also quad-shielded for protection from EM and RF interference. A virgin PVC outer casing not only protects the cable, but also facilitates in-wall and conduit installations. As with all Ultralink interconnects, Laboratory Grade 6N (99.99997%) purity copper is used in both conductors and shield for improved performance. Engineered for UL/CSA listing, the Videophile Pro DVI-D cables are CL-2/FT-4-rated for custom installation applications. Standard with all Ultralink cables, a lifetime guarantee is included.
