PPC WINS “CES 2009 BEST BUZZ AWARD” FOR WORLD’S FIRST LOCKING HDMI CABLE

March 12, 2009, East Syracuse, NY -- PPC www.connect2ppc.com, the proven leader in the design and manufacture of connectors for the telecommunications, satellite and wireless industries with the most patents in connector technology worldwide, announced today that it has won the Insight Media “CES 2009 Best Buzz Award” for Best Interconnect Device for the“PPC Locking HDMI Cable,” the world’s first HDMI locking cable available on the market.

Insight Media analysts compiled a list of the products and technologies that generated the most talk on the show floor at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held in January 2009 in Las Vegas. The buzz may be about a technology breakthrough, a bold, innovative design or a quirky design, or it may reflect a new social direction, like today’s commitment to “green.” Analysts Ken Werner, Steve Sechrist, Pete Putman, Chris Chinnock, Matt Brennesholtz, Aldo Cugnini, and Mike Kalmanash compared notes on show highlights and presented the Best Buzz Awardees for CES 2009.

PPC won for the CES 2009 Best Buzz Award for its PPC Locking HDMI Cable with patented locking connectors. “Standard HDMI connectors have a pull strength of only three pounds, and over time, the weight of the cable plus vibration can loosen the connector spontaneously, resulting in a poor connection or no connection at all. This is so common that the volume of ‘help’ calls from PPC customers induced them to come up with a solution,” said Ken Werner, Insight Media. “PPC’s clever, solid design has a 12-pound pull strength and is compatible with standard HDMI sockets – unlike competing designs, which require matching custom sockets. There is a broad market here, including cable manufacturers, CEDIA-type installers, commercial networks, Geek Squad type installers and end users.”

“We are honored to win the Insight Media CES 2009 Best Buzz Award for our exclusive HDMI Locking Cable, the first available on the market,” said Andy White, Vice President, Retail and Satellite, PPC. “We’ve come up with a product HDTV customers have been waiting for.”
