Extron's new Retractor XL (Extended Length Cable Retraction System for Cable Cubby Enclosures) provides for cable extension up to five feet (1.5 meters) and is available in versions to support most AV and data signal types including VGA, Network, PC Audio, USB, DisplayPort or HDMI. The Extron Retractor Series, introduced in 2009, is also available for applications where cable extension of 3 feet (90 cm) is appropriate.
The Retractor XL is engineered with a dual-pulley mechanism controlled by a constant-tension spring
MuxLab launches an HDMI over IP solution capable of streaming HDMI content over any Ethernet LAN-- allowing installers to set up and change AV broadcasts without dedicated cabling systems or additional AV matrix-switching hardware.
It provides 2-level (outer jacket and dielectric [7.9mm and 6.4mm]) stripping in 1 step, as the sliding depth gauging removes guesswork out of repeatable cable end preparation. It also prevents installers from using their fingers as a backstop on sharp wire tips.
Covid ships a 30m long plenum-rated HDMI cable with a built-in repeater located inside the display end of the cable and powered by the source device.
The RJ-45 outputs connect to the matching HDCATIR-RX in-room receiver over distances of up to 35m using either CAT5 or CAT6 cable, with support for 1080p60 signals. It is also 3D compatible and has a "Forced 3D" EDID mode handling a mix of 3D and non-3D displays, together with 4 other pre-configured user-selectable EDID modes.
