The Hosa CSS-105 is a 5-foot balanced 1/4" TRS interconnect cable built for clean, quiet audio connections in your facility's sound and PA systems. Its balanced design rejects noise over the run, making it a smart choice for linking mixers, powered speakers, and signal processors in gyms and event spaces where interference can otherwise creep into the signal — all at Hosa's trademark blend of quality and value.

Key features & specs:

• Connectors: Male 1/4" TRS to Male 1/4" TRS
• Type: Balanced for noise rejection and clean signal transfer
• Length: 5 feet — ideal for short, tidy runs between rack or tabletop gear
• Build: Durable construction trusted for touring and studio use
• Model: Hosa CSS-105

Setup tip: Use balanced TRS runs between balanced-capable gear to get the full noise-rejection benefit, and label both ends so signal routing stays clear in a busy rack. Store coiled loosely with an over-under wrap to prevent kinks and keep the connectors protected between events.

The Hosa CMM-110 is a dependable 10-foot 3.5mm interconnect cable that carries clean, reliable audio between the devices in your athletic facility's sound setup. Whether you're feeding a portable PA, a scoreboard sound system, or a coach's music source, Hosa cables deliver the durability and clear performance that hold up to daily use in gyms, on pool decks, and at outdoor venues — without the premium price tag.

Key features & specs:

• Connectors: Male 3.5mm (1/8") to Male 3.5mm (1/8")
• Type: Balanced construction for clean signal transfer
• Length: 10 feet — room to route between devices without strain
• Build: Durable construction designed for touring and everyday use
• Model: Hosa CMM-110

Setup tip: Route cable away from power lines and foot traffic, and leave a little slack to avoid stressing the connectors. Coil loosely using an over-under wrap for storage — tight kinks shorten cable life — and keep a spare on hand so a bad cable never sidelines your sound system on game day.

The ST1 Sports USB to Serial Adapter is the simple fix for connecting modern laptops to the serial-port equipment still common in athletic timing, scoreboard, and control systems. Many computers no longer include a built-in serial port, and this converter bridges that gap — plug it into any available USB port and gain a standard RS-232 serial connection for the gear your program already relies on.

Key features & specs:

• Function: Converts a USB port to a standard RS-232 serial connection
• Use case: Ideal for laptops and computers that lack a built-in serial port
• Applications: Connect timing systems, scoreboards, and other serial-based athletic equipment
• Compatibility: Works with standard USB ports; no internal serial card required
• Model: ST1 SKU 1000004

Setup tip: Install any required driver for your operating system, then confirm the assigned COM port in your device settings before connecting your equipment. Keep the adapter with your timing kit and store it in a padded case so the connectors stay clean and undamaged between events.

The Ultrak 495-100 Lap Memory Stopwatch is a coach's workhorse for timing practices, meets, and interval sessions where you need to capture and review a full set of splits. Its 100-lap dual-split recallable memory and large three-row display let you time an entire heat or workout, then scroll back through every split without losing the running clock — ideal for track, swimming, and any program that trains by the numbers.

Key features & specs:

• Memory: 100 dual-split recallable memory; recall splits during operation
• Timing: Measures up to ten hours; stroke/frequency function for rowing and swimming
• Display: Large three-row display with continuous event-time readout
• Extras: Time and calendar; water-resistant construction
• Power: Lithium battery included; five-year warranty

Coach's tip: Clear the memory before each session so your split bank starts clean and every recall lines up with the current workout. Keep it on its lanyard, rinse off sweat and dirt, and store dry to protect the buttons and display between uses.
