AMAZON BECOMES FIRST RETAILER TO CARRY TORRENT SURECONNECT™ HDMI CABLE PRODUCT LINE

Needham, MA  — August 31, 2009 —  Torrent, Inc. announced today that its SureConnect HDMI cables are now available for purchase on Amazon.com. Amazon is the first tier 1 national retailer to carry Torrent products.

Numerous industry experts have claimed that HDMI cables have cumbersome designs with a loose cable connector that results in weaker connections. Torrent SureConnect HDMI cables are unlike other HDMI cables; they solve the loose connection problem by incorporating Torrent's patent-pending MagLoc™ technology to ensure a connection between the cable and the port, up to 5 times stronger than any other certified manufacturer. MagLoc also has an auto-adjusting sleeve that adapts to varying HDMI port depths across a variety of devices while protecting the connector tip from accidental damage.

Torrent products are made without the use of harmful substances such as PVC, halogen and phthalate. Taking this one step further, they also lack the presence of bromine, lead, mercury, cadmium and beryllium — all without compromising performance, safety or quality. Torrent SureConnect HDMI cables are constructed using the highest-grade, highest-performing materials including 24K gold connectors, a nitrogen injected gas dielectric and the finest copper available. Torrent products are also backed by a lifetime warranty and environmental commitment, which includes ecologically-sensitive practices in their use of materials, manufacturing and delivery methods. In addition, Torrent products use 100 percent recyclable paperboard and soy-based inks.

"Our innovative design exceeds those of other high performance HDMI cables by having a stronger connection while also being highly reliable and user-friendly. We're pleased to prove that green design and quality can go hand-in-hand, and we believe Amazon.com is a perfect fit for our product in sharing this ideal," said Craig Palli, CEO and Co-Founder of Torrent.

Torrent SureConnect HDMI cables are reliable, eco-friendly, and meet the highest needs of consumers and installers alike. Select, Advanced, and Elite models are available for a competitive price.
