Cables To Go Twists Up HDMI/DVI Connections

If you received any HDMI or DVI-enabled gismos for the holidays, Cables To Go has 360-degree rotating connectors that'll help you get your fill of plugs.

Anyone who’s wires up a home theater—or a home stereo, an A/V room, a recording space, or even tried to connect a game console to the living room big screen—undoubtedly has firsthand experience of what a hassle all the cabling can be. While ultra-wideband wireless connectivity isn’t yet enough of a reality to make all the cables poof! disappear, Cables To Go is offering one thing that might make the situation more bearable: HDMI and DVi connectors that can rotate a full 360 degrees and bend a full 90 degrees, ensuring you can get your cables and connectors into the tight spaces behind and under cabinets and other furniture.

Although some consumers will certainly be interested, the adapters are perhaps of greater interest to custom installers and other folks who have to wedge high-tech entertainment electronics into awkward spaces. The connectors feature a center ball design that can twist 260 degrees and bend 90 degrees, and offer complete signal integrity in any position. Cables To Go is offering the connectors in nine different HDMI, DVI-D and DVI-A combinations, with a lifetime warranty on workmanship, for $12.99 each.

Next time, remember it’s your knickers that are supposed to get in a twist, not your cables.
