Griffin Technology today announced three new additions to its , including a 6-foot FireWire 400 connection ($15), a 6-foot FireWire Extension ($15), and "the problem solving" Ground Loop Isolator (GLI) cable ($20)--all offering a stylish appearance that "meshes beautifully with any Mac desktop setup." The GLI cable is designed for situations where "two pieces of audio equipment connected together but plugged into separate outlets will create a low, audible hum called a ground loop. Simply connect the new Ground Loop Isolator cable between the sources, and the problem will be solved. The Ground Loop Isolator cable works by lifting the power that is circling between the devices and allows only the audio to pass through." It works with Griffin's iMic and PowerWave audio devices.
