Monster kicked off the Consumer Electronics Association’s New York showcase with the introduction of several new products, including a super-thin cable for HDMI, high-speed cables for HDMI, a tabletop universal remote, and new speed tiers for its PowerNet networking solution.
The SuperThin cables are the first products to come out of Monster’s collaboration with chipmaker RedMere. Monster utilized RedMere’s MagniEye technology, which requires no external power supply and sends HD signals directly to the cable.
As a result, the cables do not need heavy-gauge copper and are about 65 percent slimmer than normal HDMI cables, measuring 3.5 mm in diameter, Monster said.
They are available in 4-, 8-, and 16-foot versions via the company’s DigitalLife line of products for $89.95, $99.95, and $119.95, respectively. An 8-foot SuperThin cable for camcorders will cost $99.95.
Monster will also offer the SuperThin cables as part of its Core line in 1-meter, 2m, 4m, and 5m lengths, ranging in price from $79.95 to $119.95.
Monster has also teamed with THX to produce faster THX certified cables for HDMI.
