LAS VEGAS (1/05/06) – Wireworld has introduced three new m odels in its extensive line of flat HDMI and DVI cables, each incorporating design and engineering advances from the top-of-the-line Silver Starlight 5², one of two Wireworld products selected to receive the CES 2006 Innovations Design and Engineering Award. The Chroma 5², Ultraviolet 5², and Starlight 5² digital video cables each feature a unique flat topology, and are a mere 0.16 inches (4mm) thick and 0.71inches (18mm) wide, providing superior flexibility and expanding installation options.

"The 5²-series cables' unusual design is more than skin deep," said David Salz, Wireworld's president and designer. "They are the result of completely re-thinking digital cable technology from the ground up. All round HDMI and DVI cables are essentially the same design that has been used in computer cables for decades. Unfortunately, this conventional design introduces signal loss, crosstalk, and timing errors that limit the cable's ability to keep up with the extreme demands of digital video signals."

"Thanks to our exclusive flat cable design which effectively reduces digital jitter, these 5² cables are capable of carrying extremely high bandwidth signals, including 1080p, over longer runs than conventional designs without signal degradation," continued Salz. "This design benefits from a newly developed dense and flexible shield that provides dramatically improved shielding and conductivity without introducing additional bulk or excessive cost."

All Wireworld 5² HDMI and DVI cables are UL-CL3 and CSA-FT4 rated for in-wall installation, and are available in various lengths between 1 M (3.3 ft.) and 20M (65.6 ft.)

The Chroma 5² cables feature Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) signal conductors and molded connectors for either HDMI or DVI applications. They are currently available at a suggested retail price of $59.95 for a 1 meter length.

The Ultraviolet 5² cables feature silver-clad OFC signal conductors, silver-clad copper shielding, and die-cast zinc connectors for high durability and superior shielding. They are currently available at a suggested retail price of $129.95 for a 1 meter length.

The Starlight 5² cables feature the same shielding and connectors as the Ultraviolet 5² cables, but contain more silver for improved performance. They are currently available at a suggested retail price of $199.95 for a 1 meter length.

Wireworld, which was founded by Salz in 1992, offers a broad spectrum of very high quality speaker cables, audio and video interconnects, digital audio interconnects, power cords, digital A/V cables, and plasma/LCD control cables. The company has an excellent reputation among audio and home theater enthusiasts for producing high quality cables based on the use of objective perceptual testing, patented designs, premium materials, and exceptional manufacturing quality.
