Accell launches new locking HDMI cable<br />
Accell announced the debut of their patent pending locking HDMI cable. This design was created for anyone<br />
purchasing an HDMI cable that wants to ensure a trouble free installation. Due to the lack of a substantial locking<br />
mechanism in the original HDMI connector specification, HDMI cables can come loose or fall out. Accell’s<br />
locking HDMI connector has a hold on the HDMI port many times greater than a conventional HDMI connector.<br />
Able to lock into any HDMI device, it ensures that the HDMI cable stays put for a trouble free audio and video<br />
experience. http://www.accellcables.com<br />
