ACCELL is based out of Fremont,CA. The company strives to create excellent connectivity products for the consumer. The HDMI cable I am reviewing here is measured at 2 meters or 6.6ft. and is 1.3 compliant. I connected this cable to several different components throughout my testing time and every time the Locking T-bar worked as advertised. I noticed absolutely no handshaking issues at any time. How the lock works is when the connector is inserted the built-in lock instantly engages. When it was time to remove the cable I simply pulled back the cable's spring loaded connector sleeve and removed the cable. Below is an illustration that demonstrates the process:
The best feature besides the usual rundown of 24k Gold-Plated Contacts, Flexible Jacket, and Triple Metal Shielding for a well made cable is the Locking T-Bar that is extremely helpful to someone who needs to switch components for testing and the HDMI ports on the back of their HDTV, Blu-ray Player, A/V Receiver, DVR Cable Box can all start becoming less of a secure fit over time from either loose cables that pull down on the port or the reinserting and switching of cables. With ACCELL's perfectly designed product you are assured a secure fit every single time. In closing if you're in the market for a locking HDMI cable that performs flawlessly then I would highly recommend you take a look at this product. 10/10
