This 240W USB-C cables connector both rotates and bends
Japanese accessory maker Sanwa Supply has released a new 240W USB-C cable with a flexible design that could help prevent damage, as spotted by Toms Hardware. The USB-C connectors on either end of the cable can rotate 360 degrees and bend from side-to-side up to 180 degrees, reducing strain on ports and minimizing bending that could eventually cause wires inside to break.The company sells a lot of its peripherals through Amazon in the US and Japan, but the new flexible USB-C cable doesnt appear to be available there yet. For the time being youll need to try to import it from Sanwa Supplys own online store where its available in two lengths: one meter for 2,580 (around $16.53) or 1.8 meters for 2,780 (around $17.80).The flexible cable can potentially be used in places where other USB-C cable wont fit.

However, data transfers with the cable are limited to USB 2.0 speeds and will max out at 480mbps. Thats much slower than the 40Gbps transfer speeds offered by other 240W USB-C cables.Its not an ideal solution for those frequently copying mountains of data, but if youve got USB ports located in tight spots, or want more freedom of movement when using your smartphone while its plugged in, this could be a solution.
