Hall Research announces the CHD-SF SnugFit latching cables able to provide 18Gb/s bandwidth for 4K video designed for critical applications demanding a tight and reliable HDMI cables.
According to the company, HDMI cables do not secure the connector, and can become unplugged with as little as 2 pounds of force. The SnugFit cables use spring-loaded protrusions on the top and sides of the HDMI connector to increase the retention force. The top tabs are positioned in such a way to snap into slots in compatible mating connectors, providing tactile and audible feedback of a proper connection.
Technically the cables do not provide a positive locking mechanism, but they offer additional grip force to prevent accidental disconnections.
SnugFit cables are available in lengths from 30cm to 7.6m.
