"RedMere's smart active cable technology lets you do away with the dongle and gives you a portable connection that's far thinner, lighter and more flexible than conventional HDMI cables. We're talking about a cable up to 15 feet long which still slips into your pocket or purse - perfect for business presentations, movies, or games."
