 Well, most of you out there like quality products for a really, really good price, and a company everybody seems to know about, but we got to keep talking to them, is Monoprice. And I'm here with Danny Hernandez from Monoprice, and you're a product manager here, right? Yes, I am. So we're going to talk real geeky about cables. Cables are so exciting. So my favorite thing is introducing the world and everyone to new types of technology, new types of cables. One really cool type of cable I'd like to introduce everyone to is our Slimrun Cat 6 line. Okay, so Cat 6 is Ethernet, right? Yes. Okay, come on. How advanced can wires get? What's new? Well, these cables can get thinner and thinner. They can be more malleable, and they can save you a lot of space and time when it comes to setting up either a new server, a new home built home network, or whatever it may be. No more do you have to deal with big bulky wires and big bulky cables when you can work with new, better and thinner Ethernet cables? I absolutely literally did not know that there was advancements going on in Ethernet. I mean, Ethernet hasn't changed its look. The little number changes, Cat 5, Cat 5, Cat 6, but what do you guys have here? So what I have here is this is our new type of Slimrun Cat 6 Ethernet cables. This is a shielded solution. It's a very, very thin-gauge cable. It's Cat 6. Oh, it says Cat 7 on it. Oh, yeah, it says Cat 7. Oh, look, it advanced while we were in the booth. This is amazing. This is audio as well. So I'm holding onto this. So this is a more standard Ethernet cable we're used to, right? Yeah. Just so you guys can see, it's like half the diameter maybe. Maybe two-thirds of the diameter of a regular twisted pair Ethernet cable, right? Yeah, keep in mind this blue cable is also an unshielded cable. So there's no shielding on this. This is the standard thickness at which you would find a normal Cat 6 cable. As opposed to this is a shielded cable. So on top of the conductors, on top of the twisting, you're also getting that additional shielding with this cable. So it's a complete solution that is protected from EMI and RFI in a small Slim package. So those acronyms were electronic field interference? It's electromagnetic interference and radio interference. Radio interference. Okay, so we've all dealt with interference that's driven us nuts. So that's pretty neat. That's just in a small cable. Now, I was just blown away. They've got an Ethernet cable with the connector at a 90-degree angle. That's crazy talk. Yeah, right. Who knew that there could be exactly innovation when it comes to Ethernet cables? But yeah, we've got a lot of feedback from a lot of our customers asking for a right angle connector. And making a right angle connector isn't necessarily as easy as it would seem. Well, so everybody would have been doing it. Exactly. So it took us, the development of our Slim Run Cat 6 technology, to be able to implement a very compact, very neat solution. And it is very specific as to why we've done the angle in which we have. And it's a lot to do with the lights on a patch bay. We didn't want to necessarily block the lights that will either be on the top or the bottom of the Ethernet port. So we've made sure we did our homework and it's bending to the side. Even the connector, Steve Zoomin on this, even the connector, look how much thinner that is. Let's see if I can get them at the same distance. How much thinner that is than the standard Ethernet jack. That's crazy. So I don't quite understand. How did the wires get smaller? I mean, why weren't we just using smaller wires to start with? What changed? Well, so Monoprice, we are a cable company through and through. Our parent company is a very well-known cable manufacturer and we've adopted the technology that we've learned from our parent company and adopted a better machining process that allows us to be able to twist the pairs tighter, ultimately creating the same performance out of less copper and ultimately a lighter cable. So it allowed us to be able to get a much thinner cable that performs at the same standards as a standard Ethernet cable. So it was literally being able to twist them tighter, allowed you to use smaller wires and allowed you to get this thinner, lighter cable. Yeah, that's exactly it. Well, I wouldn't have thought something as basic physical characteristics of twisting a wire could actually keep advancing, but that is pretty cool. Now, you've got some real pretty ones over here, right? Yeah, so these are the cables that we've launched. They're going on about two years now. These have been a huge hit for us at Monoprice. This is our standard Slim Run Cat 6A line. We offer these in multi-packs. You can purchase these in multi-packs of various colors, just like what is here in my hand. You can get them in multi-packs of single colors in either five packs, ten packs, or even 20 packs. So this is the easiest, simplest way of getting a lot of Ethernet cables for whenever you're doing your upgrade. All in the same color. All in the same color, or even multiple colors if you don't want to have to sit there and go. I thought Tyler told me a minute ago, you can't get a pack like this. It's all different colors. Oh, no. You can do... This is straight out. I don't know why. That just makes me really happy. It's got white and yellow and baby blue and black and gray. It just... I don't know. They're really nice looking. Yeah. It's so thin and so small. Just storing these when you put them away is going to be a lot nicer. Yeah. Okay. So this is... We're probably going to leave the realm of what normal humans need to learn about, but we're going to keep going because there's more fun stuff here. So HDMI cables are very, very thick and very heavy, but for those listening, I'm holding in my hand. How long is this? That's a 330-foot Slim Run AV HDR cable. This thing is... This is as thin as the Ethernet cables he was just showing me. We were kidding around with Tyler the sales guy earlier about you could do curls with a normal run like this, but this weighs nothing. I mean, this is unbelievably thin and unbelievably light. Yeah. We use a hybrid optical fiber technology with optical fiber transceivers to convert a standard copper electrical signal into an optical signal. So this is optical fiber not copper? It is. It's a hybrid. So there is a little bit of copper in that cable, and that's ultimately used to power the transceivers that are inside the cable, as well as used for traditional handshakes and timing used for the HDMI interface. So the chips are in these connectors, right? Yes, they are. In the HDMI connectors. So what about shielding on this? So the connectors themselves are fully shielded with a full metal jacket that protect ultimately the chip set and the transceiver technology that's built in. Beyond that, there is no shielding necessary because since it is an optical-based solution, it's not susceptible to the radio interference or the electromagnetic interference. Okay. Is that because the light stays collimated inside the optical fiber? Yeah, that's exactly right. So with that said, this is a great solution for when you have an environment where there's a lot of lighting, generators, a lot of power. Say you're using our CMP or plenum-rated cable, you can run it over ballasts in drop-down ceilings without having to worry about the image flickering on and off when the lights come on and off. Oh, right, right. I hate when that happens. By the way, I never knew that the video game Full Metal Jack was actually about shielded optical fiber cables. Of course it is. Who knew? Okay, but you guys are announcing something or coming to market with something else even cooler than this. I'm doing the Vanna White part here. So what have we got here? So continuing our tradition of innovation. We've launched the Slimrun AV cables about a year and a half, two years ago. That's the one we were just playing with. That's the one we were just playing with. And it's been hugely successful with our customers. So one of our biggest requests was to innovate and make the connectors smaller. So in the process, we've designed and implemented a removable connector on the HDMI side. He's just pulled the HDMI cable off of the optical cable and we've got, what is that? Is that micro? Yeah, that's micro HDMI. Explain why you'd want a smaller connector. Yeah, so you said you had to get smaller connectors. Why? Because ultimately, if you're running through a conduit or you're running it through a wall, it makes it significantly easier when you're working with a smaller connector. Okay, so the big bulky connector gets caught on everything, you can't get as many through, that sort of thing, right? Yeah, that's exactly it. It saves you man-hours of labor. Maybe even woman-hours. You never know. Or woman-hours, yeah. You don't know. It could happen, right? It ultimately saves you labor hours. Person-hours. Yeah, so that's the idea behind it and it makes it a lot easier. And then once you're done with the run, you have the option of adding our optional DVI connector. So he just pulled off of, again, now he's got the micro HDMI cable at one end and he just pulled off RS-232? No, this is DVI. Sorry, DVI. Yes, so this is a digital DVI connector. So on the fly you can hot-swap the connector to either be an HDMI or a DVI interface. That is crazy. This is going to light the world on fire. Get it? My pun? Get the lighting thing? Yeah. The light is the future, ultimately. I mean, just like with networking solutions, it's only reasonable to expand into the audio video space with the same technology. Very cool. Well, I've learned a lot today from you, Mandy. This is fantastic. And people can find your products at? Yeah. You can find our products at monoprice.com. And you should be able to find us anywhere.
