So What? It’s Just a Cable

Learn what makes certain HDMI, 4K, and 3D cables more impressive than the rest.

After a decade in the industry, it is rare that I am introduced to new products that really excite me and are truly innovative.

This was not the case when I was recently introduced to the folks at Comprehensive Cable and learned about their Pro AV/IT Series of high speed HDMI cables.

Like myself, I am sure you are thinking “What can be so special about an HDMI cable?” However, once you get your hands one, like me you will be impressed.

They seem like simple things, but based on feedback from the dealer community, Comprehensive took steps to include features in these cables that you normally don’t see, and truly make this a professional-grade HDMI cable.

For example, the ProGrip® Connector provides up to 16lbs of retention force holding the connector in place and preventing unwanted service calls. How many times have you picked up a coiled cable and had to guess if it was a 25ft, 35ft, or 50ft cable? Each of these cables are marked clearly on each connector with the cable length.

Seven color choices make classifying and identifying cabling in the back of a rack easier than ever, while the 24/26 gauge construction provides a heavy duty yet flexible jacket that is CL3 rated and includes a lifetime warranty. Of course technology like 4K, HDMI 2.0, and 3D are supported, and they have been clocked at speeds up to 31 Gbps.

We at Almo are excited to be carrying these and other cables from Comprehensive Cable, and I encourage you to contact your Almo rep at 888.420.2566 and ask about a sample pack.
