Leading connectivity solutions provider Gefen have announced the formal recognition of its HDMI CAT5 Extreme as one of Electronic House magazine’s Products of the Year for 2006.
Distinguished from among hundreds of entries, Gefen’s HDMI CAT5 Extreme is a sender/receiver extension system that sends HD video and digital audio up to 200 feet in distance using industry-standard CAT-5e cabling.

Through a democratic voting process, involving editors from Electronic House and three related publications, winning products were selected based on criteria ranging from innovative features to customer reviews.
Gefen’s President and CEO Hagai Gefen will be among several Gefen representatives at the awards ceremony during CEDIA to receive the award on September 16. As one of the winners, Gefen will also be featured in Electronic House’s September publication
A spokesperson for Gefen enthused: “We’re thrilled to be acknowledged for excellence in bringing cutting-edge solutions to the market.”
