modular cabling system wins for A/V Cable Innovation


Dayton, Ohio, January 24, 2007 - The revolutionary RapidRun Digital™ system was recently selected as a 2006 Consumer Electronics Product of the Year by Audioholics.com. The annual awards honor electronic products in select categories that stand out based on personal experiences via reviews or demo's, as well as the market trends they set based on performance, features, and value.

RapidRun Digital, the latest addition to the patent-pending RapidRun™ modular cabling system, was named winner in the A/V Cabling Innovation category. This is the third major award overall for the RapidRun system, which also received the 2005 Consumer Electronics Products of the Year from Audioholics.com in the category of Modular A/V Cabling Technology, and the 2006 CEA TechHome Mark of Excellence Award winner for Best Structured Wiring Distribution Device.

"We are excited to have RapidRun Digital honored as a product of the year by Audioholics.com," quoted Lastar’s Marketing Coordinator Konstantin Khitrik. "It took a lot of time, thought, and hard work by many individuals to make this product a reality. Having them recognized by a leading publication is validation of our efforts. This product is a breakthrough for us and we hope that this award helps to further cement our positioning in the industry as we strive to reach our goals of even greater performance and innovation in the years to come."

RapidRun Digital overcomes normal length limitations of TMDS video signals by providing HDCP compatible DVI and HDMI signals more than 80ft from source to display. The system features the patent-pending RapidRun Digital Active Wall Plate™, the first HDMI/DVI wall plate solution with an integrated equalizer/extender, which corrects for attenuation and impedance so the signal can be transmitted over the Digital Runner™, the system’s base cable, as long as 65ft at 1080p resolution. Utilizing the 65ft Runner, an Active Wall Plate with a standard 2m HDMI or DVI cable, and a 10ft Flying Lead, the total end to end length is over 80 feet!

Most RapidRun products are protected by a lifetime warranty against defects of materials and workmanship. They are available through various distributors, resellers, and online. For more information please visit the RapidRun website.
