Reducing cable clutter
D-Line has launched four new products to help
reduce cable clutter without having to channel
walls or use old fashioned trunking products.
The four new solutions include: Cable Tidy Band,
a simple, multi-purpose, re-usable hook and loop roll
to keep cables neatly wrapped when not in use; Cable
Tidy Base, a self-adhesive backed base which attaches
to desks and secures cables and wires to laptops, PCs
and other electronic equipment; Cable Tidy Clip, when
trunking is not an option, these clip cables in place;
and Cable Tidy Twist, a versatile, re-usable circular
clip that twists and locks to neatly contain cables.

Positive energy
Energizer has launched two enhanced
battery technologies that provide the power
consumers need when they need it.With
the debut of Energizer Ultra+ batteries with
PowerSeal technology, Energizer is promising
10 years’ peace of mind as the improved
cell construction, sealing components and
the actual sealing process itself lock in long
lasting power.
In addition to the Energizer PowerSeal
technology, the firm is also launching Energizer
HighTech with PowerBoost technology. These
batteries offer extra long lasting performance
and hold power for up to 10 years. Energizer
HighTech technology differs from other Energizer
battery constructions because it allows for better
and more active ingredients to be placed in the
battery, resulting in a boost of longer lasting
power. Among the differences are a state of
the art seal, a welded collector that enhances
electrical reliability
and a proprietary
separator that
improves discharge
efficiency.
