Japanese technology accessory manufacturer Sanwa Supply has launched a 240W, rotatable and bendable USB-C cable abroad, targeting new generation devices. This cable draws attention with its special design on the connector ends. This product, which has connection points at both ends that can rotate 360 degrees and bend sideways 180 degrees, aims to minimize physical wear and tear that may occur especially in narrow spaces and during intensive use. Thus, users will be able to prevent excessive tension at the connection points and breakage of the wires in the cable over time.
Sanwa Supply offered this cable for sale in two different length options: 1 meter and 1.8 meters. However, the product is currently only available in the company’s own online store. The 1-meter model is listed for 2,580 Japanese yen (about $16.53), while the 1.8-meter model is listed for 2,780 Japanese yen (about $17.80). Although it is known that the company usually sells its products on Amazon, it seems that this new model is not yet available on Amazon. To obtain this product, users must order directly from Sanwa Supply’s store for now.
Advantages of flexible cable design
Sanwa Supply’s new flexible USB-C cable not only offers high-power charging but also provides ease of use. This cable offers a great advantage, especially when connection points are located in narrow or difficult to reach areas. Thanks to its design that allows the freedom to move the device while charging, the phone goes beyond the usage provided by standard USB-C cables. These features aim to provide users with a more comfortable experience in daily life.
However, it is noteworthy that the data transfer speed offered by this product is only in the USB 2.0 standard. Offering a maximum speed of 480 Mbps, this cable may not be sufficient for users who require fast transfer of large files. This speed, which is low compared to other 240W USB-C cables that can offer data transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps today, shows that the device focuses on charging function rather than data transfer.
On the other hand, this flexible cable can be considered as an investment for the future. Although the number of devices that offer 240W charging support on the market is currently limited, such high-power charging needs are expected to increase in the future. From this perspective, Sanwa Supply’s cable stands out as a product that can meet the long-term technological needs of users.
Sanwa Supply’s flexible USB-C cable takes a remarkable step in the world of technology with its innovative design and high charging power capacity. However, its limitations in terms of data transfer speed make this product less attractive, especially for professional users who transfer intensive data. However, the flexible design and durability of the device may be preferable, especially for users with an active lifestyle.
