Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Buy quality, connection cable supplies for an entertainment system to get the best picture and sound

Connecting home entertainment equipment is a confusing project, but that doesn't mean stocking home entertainment installation supplies has to be. Component and HDMI cables supply the bandwidth required for a pristine high definition picture. HDMI has the added benefit of passing high quality digital sound all in one cable, which makes connections easier than ever. Coax and optical digital cables provide stellar sound when HDMI is not an option.

I recommend: L-com, Inc. builds custom cables for audio and video applications to meet client needs. Monster Cable Products, Inc. has a stellar reputation in audio and video cables with a cable line to meet any budget and installation.

Stock the right home entertainment supplies for both professional installers and do-it-yourselfers

Home entertainment is all about audio and video, which means an endless combination of connections that require adaptors to work. Stocking a full line of adaptors from home entertainment suppliers makes your business the place customers look to when they can't just plug in the cables. Custom home theater supplies are offered by many adaptor and connection manufacturers.

I recommend: SF Cable, Inc. distributes a full line of audio, video and computer cable adaptors for making difficult connections easy. For OEM adaptors, cables and supplies contact Lenexpo and stock their full line of professional installation products.

Offer custom home theater supplies and accessories to give customers that one-stop shop experience

Carry the accessories for home automation and light controls that are part of every home entertainment installation. Having supplies available for an entertainment system from beginning to end saves your clients' time and brings in additional sales.

I recommend: Home Controls, Inc. is a premier distributor of home automation and control systems. BDC Distributors helps retailers and installers stock the electronics and accessories to get the job done right.
