Knot-Proof Portable Cords

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Travel Charger Cable is Compact and Will Not Tangle

— May 22, 2015 — Art & Design
Designers have been dreaming up all sorts of solutions to the knotted cord question, and this travel charger cable flaunts a couple of features that are simultaneously successful.

First of all, the flattened form of the line makes it less susceptible to forming tangles, yet it doesn't add unnecessary volume to the electronic accessory. Spaced out along the length of the item are also little tiny connectors that help the user easily wind the SBWLY USB charger into a neat and tidy coil.

Assuming an area less than that of a credit card, this travel charger cable is perfect to pocket. It's a great example of a shift that more electronics manufacturers should be making in order to appeal to the many who are frustrated with knotting wires.
Trend Themes
1. Flat Portable Cables - The trend is towards flat cables which are less prone to tangling, thus reducing frustration for users. Manufacturers can innovate in this area by creating portable cables that are also durable and high-quality.
2. Compact Travel Chargers - There's a rise in demand for small and lightweight chargers, that can fit in pockets and purses. Manufacturers can focus on creating innovative ways to make charging cords more portable while ensuring that they are still long-lasting.
3. Wire Management Solutions - As more consumers rely on technology, there's a growing need for wire and cable management solutions. Companies can create products that help consumers keep cords organized and reduce clutter.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can innovate in creating flat and compact portable chargers that are durable and high-quality.
2. Travel and Tourism - The travel and tourism industry can produce portable charging devices that cater to the needs of travelers, who need reliable charging solutions while on the go.
3. Home Organization - The home organization industry can create innovative designs that help keep cords and wires organized and reduce clutter, minimizing the frustration and stress of dealing with messy cords.
