AV Technology - February/March 2009 - (Page 62) avassets new products PIVOTING HEAD HDMI CABLES Centronics launches its new EHD-branded HD FLEX 90-degree pivoting head HDMI cables. EHD’s HD FLEX 6-foot, 12-foot, and 24-foot length cables are HDMI 1.3 certified and HDCP compliant. They include an adaptable 90-degree head for easier overall installation in hard to reach or tight spaces. Even if the consumer or integrator planned on where the wall mount should be installed when purchasing the flat panel, they sometimes don’t realize that the cable may be a tight fit, or not fit at all, behind the flat panel or behind the rack of electronics. The HD FLEX 90-degree pivoting head cable eliminates that aggravation by providing both an aesthetic and functional HDMI 1.3-certified and HDCP-compliant solution. The HD FLEX line is available with an MSRP range of $39.95-$69.95. Visit www.centronics.com.
