Sonnet Announces New MacCuff™ MiniMounting System for New Mac® mini

IRVINE, CA—August 19, 2010—Sonnet Technologies today announced that its MacCuff mini, the back-of-monitor mounting system for Mac mini computers has been updated for the latest Mac mini line. MacCuff mini provides users a practical way to mount their computer to the back of an LCD display (or under a desk or table) while retaining full access to the power switch, the SD card and optical disc slots, and all of its ports.

In spite of its small size, the Mac mini can be inconvenient to place. On a small desk, the Mac mini takes up valuable space, a problem compounded by cable clutter. MacCuff mini moves a Mac mini off the desktop and behind the monitor or to under a desktop.

Many LCD monitors have open VESA mounting holes on the back that provide an ideal spot to attach a MacCuff mini. Mounted securely to the back of a display, a Mac mini disappears. Sonnet helps cut the cable clutter by providing a 13-inch HDMI to DVI-D monitor cable that connects the Mac mini to the monitor, without ever touching the desk. Included cable ties secure the power cord and other cables to the bracket to prevent accidental disconnects. MacCuff mini can just as easily be installed under a desk or shelf. Regardless the mounting method, MacCuff mini’s design leaves the computer’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas uncovered to allow normal operation.

MacCuff mini can help secure Mac mini to whatever it is mounted. An included locking bar slides through slots at the front of the MacCuff mini bracket that, when used with a lock, secures the Mac mini from the front, while a tall lip prevents removing the Mac mini from the back of MacCuff mini.

MacCuff mini is constructed of rugged steel, and its double powder-coated finish won’t scuff or scratch the computer’s finish. Installation is easy. For back-of-monitor mounting, just locate the empty VESA mount screw holes on the back of the monitor, and then use the supplied machine screws to secure the MacCuff mini. For under-desk mounting, simply tape the included drill template to the surface, drill pilot holes, and attach the bracket using the supplied wood screws. Mac mini simply slides into the MacCuff mini.

The new MacCuff mini (part number CUFF-MIN-LH) will be available the week of September 6, 2010 for the suggested retail price of USD $69.95.
