The USB Cable That Stays Bent   computex2008 day one 12

Ever have problems with managing your USB cables? Well, one of the things that I hate is how they end up uncoiling themselves leaving a mess or just not staying where I’ve placed them. One company seems to have solved this problem in a somewhat ingenious way using a cable construction that allows the cable to stay where you bend it. These might be the best behaved USB cables you’ll ever use.

The crew at Futurelooks snapped this shot for us during the COMPUTEX 2008 Press Conference. The company, that manufacturers them goes by the name of “Sonnenchein Ind Co Ltd.” though I’m sure it won’t be long till some company out there rebrands them and markets them under some snazzy name. The technology, known as “Twist a Cable Memory Technology” can be applied to other products as well so we might even see power cables take the shape that you put them in.

    Not sure, but you can braid them together, make them round corners and stay there, and coil them or just bend them into loops to make them shorter when space is an issue. Since there was no other information available, it is probably a proprietary technology that they don’t want to give away.

    Are they using solid core copper (or aluminum) for more ridge cables and not stranded? Or do they run an length of of copper or aluminum down the center of the cable?
