Gefen Offers Fiber HDTV Cables at Copper Price
Gefen Discounts HDTV Extreme Cables for High Definition Video Extension WOODLAND HILLS, CA -- April 11, 2005 -- Gefen announced that it has discounted its HDTV Extreme cables, now available in 33, 50, 66, 75, 100, 135, 210 and 330 foot lengths. HDTV Extreme cables are uniquely suited for HDTV projection and computer video extension because they combine fiber optics components and copper wires in a single cable in which the electronics are part of the DVI connectors. Sending the high resolutions of high definition video beyond 15 feet from the computer or satellite set-top box to the display requires the proper cabling and transmission techniques. Using an off-the-shelf cable may work for some systems but those who demand high resolution often experience video pixilation that deteriorates the further the display is extended. "By making fiber DVI cables cost similar to the price of DVI copper cables, we can offer unparallel video quality to 1080p," said Hagai Gefen, president. "You can...
