The Dick Smith Brand
Dick Smith Electronics has also long been known for its "home brand" range of electronics which fall under the brand name "Dick Smith" (formally called DSE, a commonly used abbreviation of Dick Smith Electronics). Although initially, in the 1980s, DSE branding focused on phones, telephony equipment and some components, the brand has since expanded into a large range of various electronic devices and components with less focus on telephony. In 2007 the DSE brand produced a wide range of products including portable DVD players, TV set-top boxes, aerials, AV receivers and amplifiers, NiCad and NiMH Rechargeable batteries as well as alkaline and lithium batteries, digital cameras, speakers, flash-memory devices, UHF radios, webcams and Ethernet, Crossover, USB, Composite AV, Component AV, 240V AC cables.
A number of the DSE brand products are re-branded products from third party manufacturers and are often sold alongside their original manufacturers version of the product. An example of this is DSE's SD card range which are manufactured by A-DATA and sold alongside A-DATA's own SD cards in many stores. Other Dick Smith house brands were Shimasu, Digitor and Koolshades, the 1990s youth brand.
