Possibly one of the most intelligent electrical devices invented for fast connectivity and transference of data is the patch panel. As much as one would normally shrug their shoulders after hearing the name, it is something that is extremely useful and can be used for virtually anything that requires a fast connection. They are typically seen in household connectors, with the shorter cable into the front of the patch panels, and the longer cable connected to the back.
Historically these were seen in black and white movies, where a wonderful image of a female operator was busy switching...
Last week, we heard about the hd EZ, an adapter that locks your HDMI cables into place. Now, PPC wants to cut out that middleman, with a self-locking cable.
Instead of having to attach another piece into your mix, the PPC Locking HDMI Cable features patented technology that can hold it onto that port pretty tight-the company claims it’s “three times greater†than conventional connectors.

This is one of those things that's been stewing in my head for a while, and once I saw this post about the same topic on digg I felt like I had to say something. Everyone is talking about HDMI with the release of the PS3, and it's worth talking about; many people don't know that much about the cables or the connections.

I'm not going to try to break down the entire issue of cabling because it's a broad one, but if you're looking to buy an ...
