V7 Cables and Adapters Support Expanded Digital Media Viewing Options With Premium Performance and Cost Savings

New Offerings Enable Notebook, Tablet and Smart Phone Users to "Get the Big Picture" and Share With Others in the Living Room or the Board Room


SANTA ANA, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 18, 2013) - V7, a global provider of premier computer accessories worldwide and division of Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), today introduced new additions to its line of cables and adapters that enables users of smart phones, PCs, tablets and Ultrabooks™, MacBooks® and standard notebooks, to share and "upsize" the viewing of photos and videos on televisions, monitors or projectors with HDMI or VGA inputs.

While today's tablets, smart phones, PCs and notebooks offer plenty of digital media capabilities, many consumers prefer viewing photos and video files on a larger screen, rather than sacrifice the size and quality of the overall viewing experience; or someone preparing a presentation with a small laptop on a cross-country flight may need to present to a small group or larger audience via a monitor or projector. V7's new cables and adapters models accommodate various input and output device scenarios, and provide exceptional quality and plug-and-play ease of use.

"The new V7 line of cables and adapters answers the insatiable consumer need to share information among a growing list of digital devices," said Rainer Kozlik, vice president and general manager of Ingram Micro's Global V7 Private Label Group. "The high quality and reliability of V7 cables and adapters, which are priced within reach for all consumers, enable users to connect their digital world with confidence. And with the wide range of product offerings, users can be assured that V7 is their one-stop shop for cables and adapters, no matter the need or scenario."
