StarTech.com Supports Earth Day
Over the past week, we've been excercising our commitment to being an environmentally conscious company, in observance of Earth Week.
While Earth Week/Earth Day is crucial to raising awareness of environmental turmoil, as a company, we do our best to promote Earth Day awareness every day. The phrase "Think Globally, Act Locally" is certainly something that applies to StarTech.com; last week, for example we held a staff-wide "clean up" of the marsh and neighboring areas around our London (Ontario) office. As well, we've implemented electronic pay statements, in place of the conventional paper statements.
On a Global scale, we excercise our environmental awareness through the products we offer. While the majority of our products adhere to the RoHS directive (73% and growing) and other green friendly initiatives, we also "empower" our customers to make an eco-friendly choice by offering 80 Plus Certified Power Supplies. Our WattSmart Power Supply series provides three different models, that suit a broad range of system configurations and power requirements, while minimizing wasted energy.
Happy Earth Day!

CAT5 KVM Switches Now Available!
You may recall my posting in January, titled Lab Makeover - StarTech.com Edition, in which I detailed some of the upgrades we made to our test lab.
One of the additions to the lab was at that time in prototype form - specifically, the SV1631DUTP 16 Port StarView CAT5 KVM Switch.
Since the CAT5 KVM Switch debuted in the lab, feedback from our Product Development team has been very positive (after much use), regarding the convenience it offers in being able to connect the switch using CAT5 cable. Given the configuration of the lab to include multiple patch panels, running cable to slave devices is much easier, not to mention neater than conventional switch connections.
The CAT5 KVM Switches are now available, and in stock!

StarTech.com Launches USB Rocket Shoes
It is with immeasurable excitement that I announce the upcoming release of one of StarTech.com's finest, most original products - USB Rocket Shoes!
Although the project has come under a great deal of scrutiny from some of the world's most influential security agencies, we opted to keep the intended result under wraps until we had completed the necessary research and development. Finally, our work is nearing completion on this project, following roughly 11 years.
It's important to note that this project entailed nearly half of a billion dollars of funding from privately held investor groups, and a great deal of effort and teamwork from the company as a whole; sadly, no fewer than a dozen employees gave their lives (literally) to the testing and development of this product, which will (finally) become available in the coming weeks.
The StarTech.com USB Rocket Shoes (USBROCKET)offer 15lbs of initial upward thrust, and can supply users with speeds of up to 240km/h when fueled and used accordingly. Weighing less than 5lbs a piece, the Rocket Shoes can be charged via USB 2.0 connection to a host PC or Mac. Future models of USBROCKET will include a built-in, 5 port USB hub - so you will be able to take your peripherals with you wherever you go.
