Kordz highlights “cables that can hold their own” in a showstopping demonstration of the robust performance of its newly upgraded HDMI cables, plus new USB-C and outdoor cabling lines.
August 27, 2025 — Kordz, a leading global innovator of professional-grade connectivity solutions, returns to CEDIA Expo 2025 at the Future Ready Solutions Booth #2838 with an extensive lineup of cables designed to meet the current and emerging demands of modern residential AV systems. From HDMI and USB-C solutions to outdoor-rated network and speaker cabling, every Kordz product is engineered by former integrators to deliver speed, reliability and repeatable results in the field, made possible by the company’s unique “Kordzification” process. This rigorous design and manufacturing methodology ensures all Kordz connectivity products meet the high standards for durability, performance and long-term reliability demanded in real-world conditions.
“At Kordz, we don’t just design products, we engineer connectivity of successful, long-lasting systems,” says James Chen, Kordz Managing Director. “Our goal is to eliminate pain points for integrators by delivering solutions that install faster, perform better, and stand the test of time. The new innovations we’re introducing this year at CEDIA Expo are products integrators have been asking for and a direct reflection of this commitment. We’ve pushed the envelope in all facets of cable quality and are excited to share the results with the integration community.”
Strength on Display: Robust New PRO4 AOC HDMI Cable Can Really “Hold Its Own”
Kordz’ philosophy comes to life on the show floor with the debut of its PRO4 Active Optical HDMI Cable, an innovation that not only redefines HDMI performance but puts Kordz’ engineering excellence on full display. At the Future Ready Solutions Booth #2838. Kordz’ PRO4 Active Optical HDMI Cable takes center stage during a live, continuous “power lifting” demo. With a 20kg pull-force rating, a single PRO4 cable will suspend a full box of Cat6 cable while simultaneously powering a live TV display. Despite the considerable strain, the slim 4.7mm-diameter cable easily holds firm, demonstrating its exceptional durability and strength under pressure. This eye-catching feat is more than just a showstopper, it’s proof of Kordz engineering in action and the ability of Kordz cabling to confidently “hold its own.”

by KMB Communications | Aug 27, 2025 | News, Torus Power
Systems integrators can deliver clean, regulated power to their custom home theater and two-channel audio installations with a power isolation transformer from Torus Power.
TORONTO, ON, CANADA (August 9, 2025) — For 20 years, Torus Power Inc. has led the charge in educating systems integrators on the vital role clean, isolated power plays in optimizing high-performance audio and video systems. At CEDIA Expo 2025, Booth #2909, Torus Power proudly celebrates its milestone anniversary by showcasing a full range of toroidal isolation transformers—solutions that ensure peak performance and protection for custom home theaters, two-channel listening rooms, and whole-home AV installations.
“Our 20-year legacy is built on delivering reliable, audiophile-grade power solutions that enhance system performance and protect valuable AV gear,” says Kevin Main, President and COO of Torus Power. “This complete range reflects everything we’ve learned and developed over the past two decades. And there’s no better place to celebrate this milestone than at CEDIA Expo—surrounded by our industry partners, colleagues, and the dealers who have made our success possible.”
Wall-Mount and All-in-One Designs Grant Installation Flexibility
From the robust RM Series to the feature-rich, cloud-enabled AVR-2 ELITE Series, Torus Power’s comprehensive lineup—including rack-mount and wall-mount (WM) models—empowers integrators to tailor power solutions to any residential project. Especially beneficial for new construction and large-scale custom installations, Torus Power WM models provide outstanding installation flexibility, allowing dedicated power lines to be run precisely where outlets are needed. Torus Power’s AVR-2 ELITE and RM Series toroidal isolation transformers are available as wall-mounted units, accommodating 240V inputs or 208V inputs for three-phase systems.
For even more centralized power distribution and simplified installation, Torus Power offers the All-in-One (AIO) panel—a fully integrated solution that brings the benefits of isolation, surge protection, and circuit-level distribution together in a single, streamlined enclosure. Originally developed for the professional recording studio industry by Arthur Kelm of Ground One in California, the AIO’s unique configuration also makes it ideal for high-end residential AV systems. Resembling an electrical panel, the AIO is divided into two sections: the top houses 24 industrial-grade 20A bolt-in breakers with advanced surge suppression, while the lower section is designed to accommodate a Torus Power toroidal isolation transformer, which supplies clean, conditioned power to each circuit.
RM Series Ideal for Luxury Residential AV Applications
Great for luxury home theater and high-end home audio systems, the Torus Power RM Series models remain unparalleled industry-wide for performance, protection, and value. With models ranging from 7 Amps to 200 Amps, one of the most popular models is the RM-20. Feature-rich and technologically advanced, it safeguards and optimizes the performance of AV systems via toroidal isolation, noise filtering, high instantaneous current capability, and lightning and surge protection.
AVR-2 ELITE Series Keeps AV Equipment Running at Optimal Voltage Range
The AVR-2 ELITE Series, equipped with Torus Power’s exclusive AVR technology, provides true isolation and protects connected equipment from surges. Ideal for environments where high-end AV equipment is exposed to fluctuating line voltages, the AVR-2 ELITE Series uses multiple input taps to deliver a stable output, ensuring components operate within the optimal 120V (+/- 4V) range. This state-of-the-art solution, prominently displayed at CEDIA Expo in a wall-mounted configuration, supports local web-based setup, monitoring, and control, as well as remote management via Torus Power’s integrated Power Connect cloud platform.
Benefits Beyond Basic Power Conditioning
Unlike standard power conditioners, the RM Series and AVR-2 ELITE Series—along with other toroidal isolation transformers in Torus Power’s extensive lineup—decouple and electrically isolate AV components from the incoming power source. The result is the elimination of transients and a dramatically lower noise floor, which enhances audio performance with greater dynamics, imaging, and bass response. Video is noticeably crisper with brighter colors, deeper blacks, better contrast, and a more captivating overall image. Connected components are protected from surges, spikes, and brownouts, ensuring systems continue to perform as intended despite fluctuating power conditions. Torus Power offers its toroidal isolation transformers in wall- and rack-mount configurations, affording superior installation and performance flexibility.
Don’t Miss: CEDIA Educational Session on Power Management
Torus Power’s Art Kelm Discusses the Importance of Power Management in CEDIA Educational Session
Torus Power continues its mission to educate and empower integrators by featuring Arthur Kelm, CEO of Ground One AV Inc., as a panelist in the power-focused CEDIA Education Session at CEDIA Expo. Kelm, a key contributor to the development of Torus Power solutions, brings decades of expertise in power and grounding for professional recording studios and luxury residential installations.
With an impressive career spanning engineering and management roles at some of the world’s most renowned recording facilities—Record One, The Complex Studios, Record Plant Studios, Skywalker Sound, Walt Disney Imagineering, and Capitol Recording Studios—Kelm is recognized as one of the industry’s foremost authorities on studio power and grounding. His consulting firm, Ground One AV, serves an elite roster of entertainment clients, and his technical insight has helped shape best practices for both commercial and residential power distribution.
Integrators eager to strengthen their understanding of power management will benefit from his expertise during “Be Powerful: The Growing Sector of Power Management & Storage,” taking place Thursday, Sept. 4, from 9:00–10:30 a.m. in Room 404. For anyone looking to excel in this expanding sector, this session is a must-attend.
