A partnership between RedMere and Buffalo Kokuyo Supply Inc has done it again.

RedMere, a leading supplier of smart active cable solutions, has announced the launch of Asia’s first ever ultra-thin, portable high-speed micro-HDMI cables for ultra-portable devices such as the smartphone, tablet, digital camera and camcorder with Buffalo Kokuyo Supply Inc in Japan.

The two firms successfully introduced late last year Japan’s first ever smart ultra-slim HDMI cables with an embedded booster for use in home theatre, PCs, PC peripherals, satellite box and gaming high definition and 3D TV applications.

RedMere’s patented active cable technology means that for the first time in Asia the smartphone and tablet user has the choice to buy a Micro-HDMI cable portable enough to fit in the jeans pocket or the carry case and long enough to view high definition images, movies or footage from up to two meters from the HDTV.

Until now traditional HDMI cables that have been available to share the content for devices with Micro-HDMI out are unwieldy, thick and heavy; they are not portable and they are so short the user of the device is required to stand close to the HDTV to use them. RedMere’s smart cable technology has an embedded booster module which dramatically reduces the cable size and weight by removing up to 70 per cent of the copper and up to 80 per cent of the PVC, and no external power supply is needed.
