trip for work usually involves land along a small mountain of electronics , each with cable television that need to track along too . But a newKickstarterpromises to replace them all — powerfulness , video recording , and audio — with a single multi - headed cord that can deal any connection that wireless has n’t already replaced .
Universal cable television with swappable connection are n’t a new idea — there are countless smartphone courser that can easily be converted from Lightning to microUSB to Apple ’s former dock connector by simply swapping in a Modern head . But what congeal the TOB aside is that it claims to reassign data , audio , picture , and power .
Inside the nylon - enclose cable television are a combination of grave gauge copper wires surrounding an visual fiber core . How incisively those are lay out is presumably the secret sauce to what make the TOB capable of handle unlike tasks . And to make the cable gentle to use , the TOB ’s creators claim its round design allow for the connective to be attach in any orientation — they do n’t require to be perfectly lined up to work . So how the TOB can be used as an HDMI cable — which has 19 pins that need to be perfectly line up — is a bit of a whodunit .
The TOB cable has already progress to its $ 20,000 financing goal on Kickstarter , and despite claiming far more functionality than other supposed ‘ premium ’ cable , you may pre - ordinate a five - base version for $ 65 with delivery as early as July . And that includes Lightning , microUSB , miniUSB , even USB , sound , HDMI micro , and received HDMI connectors .
Just keep in mind there ’s a lot of in advance functionality being predict here , including a agile - liberation feature similar to Apple ’s MagSafe power connective . So you might want to have off on donating until we see more than just a promotional video touting all its theoretically rattling capability . But if it does work as promise , the thought of only having to carry a undivided overseas telegram when you leave the sign of the zodiac , no matter how many gadgets are in your suitcase , sounds moderately fantastic .
