DPL Labs Releases Performance Results for Next Generation HDMI™ Cables; Long Six Meter Model Receives High Marks

Select Next Generation HDMI™ Cables Shown to be “Over-Achievers”

ORMOND BEACH, FL – OCTOBER 06, 2008 – DPL Laboratories, Inc. (DPL Labs), the industry’s leading technical laboratory conducting performance testing of high bandwidth digital signaling solutions, today released detailed performance results for HDMI™ cable products from Next Generation Home Products (NGHP). DPL Labs technicians noted that while all of the models supplied from NGHP received performance rankings that were well above average, one model, a six meter cable in their Xtreme series, earned an exceptional “3” ranking on DPL’s “1” to “5” scale from “good” to “best.”

Next Generation Home Products is a Port Richey, FL based provider of a wide range of solutions for industry installers and dealers including remote extenders, cables, switchers, splitters, and more. As one of the first companies to join DPL Labs Digital Performance Level HD Performance Testing & Certification Program, Next Generation believes that providing dealers and consumers with true performance ratings to assist them in selecting the right product for their application makes good business sense.

DPL Labs tested several models from Next Generation ranging in length from 1 meter to 6 meters. DPL technicians conducted a rigorous multi-element testing regime in both Class B and Class C testing classifications. All Next Generation HDMI™ cables earned scores with either a “3” or a “4” rating…in both testing classifications…representing excellent overall performance.

And the 6 meter model in particular, at almost 20 feet in length, earned a performance rating of “3” which is especially notable for a relatively long HDMI™ cable.
