Thin, Light, Flexible HDMI Cables For your Gaming Tech

Redmere-powered technology has allowed for a wide range of new thin, lightweight "active" HDMI cables that will not only reduce the bulk and weight of taking your gaming gear with you but also give you a crisp, clear image.

Companies like Vizio, Samsung, Radio Shack, Monster and PNY are all offering thin, lightweight, flexible and, portable cables using new technology by RedMere.

Typically, cables using RedMere’s technology are 70-80% thinner and lighter than conventional cables of the same length. Practically speaking, that means having a 10-ft. cable that fits comfortably in one’s pocket instead of awkwardly in a computer bag, briefcase or backpack.

RedMere’s technology is based on tiny, self-powered chip built into a cable connector with HDMI technology. The RedMere chip boosts the signal so that the cable can be thin – even thinner than an iPod USB cable – and still handle the required high speed data rate (10.2 Gb/s). Cables with RedMere technology, also known as “active” cables, are the world’s thinnest, lightest, and most flexible cables for products that connect using HDMI technology, according to the company.

Cables with RedMere’s active technology are available for products using any of three of connector types used for HDMI technology: regular, mini and the D-size micro connectors found on the latest digital cameras and other portable gadgets.

Cable are available at retail outlets now.
