VidaBox launches the vCharger and vPower station combo-- a complete long-distance power-over-CAT5 USB charging solution ideal for use with mobile devices.
The vCharger unit draws voltage from a vPower station (via CAT5) and converts it to charge a connected USB device. Using a custom power-over-CAT5 design, it provides power for up to 100m.
You can connect up to x4 vCharger units to a single vPower station via vPower 4-port adapter.
The vCharger has no moving parts and is designed for ultra-reliable, long term use within a compact (3"x2"x2") design. It is easily hidden inside in-wall/back boxes and functions without ventilation (it is not rated for standalone, in-wall use).
For added flexibility the vCharger is also backwards compatible with older PoE switches as power sources.
Sanus launches the Sanus Elements ELM4900-- a super-slim 90-degree HDMI adapter designed for HDMI connections in tight spaces.
It sends signals from any device with HDMI output (complete with 3D support), with HDCP standard compliancy and zero compression.
The splitters carry a built-in repeater and equiliser, which Marmitek says ensure picture and sound quality retention while allowing the use of longer HDMI cables.
Ideal for overheating problems due to components sitting on closely-spaced shelves, you only need to put it on top of a hot component needing more ventilation.
