The TcFIT-U system includes a signature Leon custom grille built to match the width of the TV, blending the soundbar with the display for a streamlined look. It comes in three models offering adjustable depth to accommodate all Sonos soundbars, namely the Beam, Playbar and Arc, and mounts directly to any TV up to 98-inch in size via undermount brackets.

DisplayPort Alt Mode 2.0 fully enables all the features of the latest version of the DisplayPort standard (version 2.0) through the USB-C connector. Through Alt Mode, the USB-C connector can transmit up to 80Gbps of DisplayPort video data utilising all four high-speed lanes in the cables, or up to 40Gbps with simultaneous SuperSpeed USB data delivery.

The tester includes quick and efficient signal analysis, built-in monitoring, logging and diagnostic capabilities, and comprehensive troubleshooting tools. Selecting the Extron cable profile compiles and summarises all parameters necessary to certify the link quality and status. Users can generate an HDBaseT report to certify link quality and status, and in turn save the report as a PDF file as part of system commissioning documentation.

The adjustable, sliding charging connector enables a fit for every iPad model, while the locking structure makes the iTop OnWall flexible for the entire family or multiple business users. Designed for simple stand-alone IP control or 3rd party control system integration, the dock has a built-in control processor with a six-button control keypad able to work independently of the tablet. A proximity sensor unlocks the iPad screen and can trigger a control command.

The result of four years of development by Japanese industrial chemist and distributor Andante Largo, the ChordOhmic fluid deploys polymers to fill pits and imperfections on the surfaces of connections. The result is a greater contact area, therefore improving the performance of the connection. The lower the resistance, the higher the current/signal.

The mount frees up space by mounting the Port to the wall and holding it securely in place. Customers can pair the mount with a padlock (not provided), meaning the Sonos component is kept completely safe from unwanted removal. As such, it is perfect for public spaces such as music venues.

“In today’s networks, twisted pair cables are demanding more speed and bandwidth, often carrying power in PoE applications,” the company says. “To help meet these requirements and the changes in cable they have necessitated, customers are converting to the ezEX line of connectors. Platinum Tools’ new ezEX RJ45 Starter Kit provides an easy way to make the switch and meet these higher performance demands.”

Developed by Chord Company engineers, the DIN interconnect construction is different to other analogue interconnects in the Epic range. It takes advantage of performance-enhancing Tuned ARAY geometry, and benefits from wide bandwidth, silver-plated, oxygen-free copper conductors. All conductor pairs also feature multi-tiered foil shielding, a technique the company says reduces interaction between the different signals the DIN cables carry.

The Velox HDMI cables can handle 8K and even 10K content up to 100m with a true 8K signal generator. First seen back at CES 2020, the Velox cables feature premium construction allowing them to handle the demands of higher bandwidth content in long runs. Multi-layer shielding prevents electromagnetic interference, maximising noise isolation and protecting components from HDMI ultra-low speed emanations. The Velox EHV-HDG2 series will be available soon in lengths from 10 to 100m.

“A common scenario in retro coaxial installs is finding the stub end of a coax cable protruding on the inside of a wall outlet or MDU box,” the company says. “Using a standard coax cable stripper is difficult due to the restricted terminating space. We have the solution-- use the Stub-End Coax Cable Stripper.”
