Comprehensive began in 1974 as a simple idea. With audio-visual, video production, broadcast and computer hardware becoming more and more prevalent in business and education, there was an inherent and un-met need for A/V accessories including reliable, professional grade connectivity solutions and accessories required to interface them and make them work. These solutions had to be extremely reliable able to withstand demanding commercial environments. Over the years, Comprehensive cables and signal management solutions became necessities in every professional broadcast, A/V, or computer network environment because they could be counted on to work every time, all the time. Comprehensive quickly became the leading brand of professional connectivity solutions and the Comprehensive catalog could be found on every audio, video, or computer professionals’ desk for almost four decades.
