Sanwa Supply, a Japanese manufacturer of accessories, has introduced an innovative 240W USB-C cable that features a unique flexible design aimed at reducing wear and tear. This cable, as highlighted by Tom’s Hardware, boasts USB-C connectors that can rotate a full 360 degrees and bend up to 180 degrees from side to side. Such features are intended to minimize stress on device ports and mitigate the potential for cable damage over time.

While Sanwa Supply’s products are widely distributed via Amazon in both the United States and Japan, this new cable is not currently listed on those platforms. Interested customers will need to visit Sanwa’s official online store for purchase, where the cable is available in two lengths: one meter priced at ￥2,580 (approximately $16.53) and 1.8 meters at ￥2,780 (roughly $17.80).

Although the number of devices capable of utilizing 240W charging speeds remains limited, this cable could serve to enhance the longevity of charging setups as technology progresses. Users should note, however, that data transfer rates are restricted to USB 2.0 speeds, capping at 480mbps, which is significantly slower than the 40Gbps speeds found with other high-capacity USB-C alternatives.

This cable may not be the best choice for those who often handle large data transfers. However, it may cater to users with USB ports positioned in awkward locations or those seeking more flexibility while using their smartphones while charging. The innovative design positions this accessory as a practical solution for everyday connectivity challenges.
