Executive Overview

RapidRun is an award-winning interconnect system designed, from the ground up, to evolve with the components of any AV installation. Featuring a new one-of-a-kind connector technology and incredible flexibility, RapidRun is able to handle whatever signal you need wherever you need it; this versatility allows easy customization of any system.

The RapidRun system consists of three Runners and a collection of Break-Away termination options that function with specific Runners. Two Break-Aways are required for each Runner, one on both ends of the cable. The multiple combination options allow you to customize the system in order to create your desired configuration.

Until now there has been no way to terminate HDMI or DVI in the field. Digital RapidRun makes that possible.
