Sanwa Supply Launches $16 USB-C Cable with Rotating and Bending Connectors

The new 240W USB-C cable offers enhanced flexibility for charging devices but is limited to USB 2.0 data speeds.

Sanwa Supply's 500-USB090 USB-C cable features connectors that rotate 360 degrees and bend 180 degrees to reduce strain on ports and improve usability.
The cable supports 240W power delivery, making it suitable for charging high-power devices like laptops, smartphones, and gaming consoles.
Data transfer speeds are capped at USB 2.0 rates of 480Mbps, significantly slower than modern USB 3.2 or USB4 standards.
Available in Japan for approximately $16 to $18 depending on length, the cable comes in 1-meter and 1.8-meter options but has yet to reach global markets or Amazon.
The design aims to prevent damage to ports and cables by allowing more flexible positioning, making it ideal for tight spaces or on-the-go use.
