That\u2019s not even considering how the same accessory can be used to transfer data between devices quickly, a lot faster than even the fastest WLAN method. Unfortunately, innovation in this market has pretty much stalled except in new USB standards, but even then accessory manufacturers have been slow to adopt new specs.<\/p>\n<p>The design of cables themselves, however, hasn\u2019t seen much action, aside from a handful that try to alleviate users\u2019 pet peeves with these tangling products. One of those is how quickly these cables get damaged, especially near the \u201chead\u201d or connector because of how often they get bent out of shape, increasing their wear and tear with each use. Short of extremely flexible cables, this design has a rather creative solution that allows the USB-C connector to flip and twist so you can position your device in a way that\u2019s comfortable for you, not for the cable.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/direct.sanwa.co.jp\/ItemPage\/500-USB090-1BK\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sanwa Supply<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-535336\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/17\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Swiveling and rotating USB-C cable reduces strain and damage\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-05.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-535337\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/17\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Swiveling and rotating USB-C cable reduces strain and damage\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-535337\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/17\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Swiveling and rotating USB-C cable reduces strain and damage\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-01.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"4525bb507a13045f79bd0583-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"4525bb507a13045f79bd0583-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While USB cables themselves are quite resilient, the area where the cable connects with the USB plug is often subjected to more strain than any other part. USB cables often extend from a device or charger in a fixed and rigid direction, but the way we hold or handle devices connected to them often forces them to bend, sometimes quite sharply. This increases the tension and, therefore, the strain, causing cables to get damaged faster than they normally would.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-535338\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/17\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Swiveling and rotating USB-C cable reduces strain and damage\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-535338\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/17\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Swiveling and rotating USB-C cable reduces strain and damage\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>This USB-C cable design solves this by simply allowing the connector to bend and twist as needed. It can swivel as much as 180 degrees and it can even rotate 360 degrees. The USB-C standard itself is reversible, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can twist them. By giving the cable more freedom of movement, it reduces the strain on cables, prolonging their life. The cable even has a nylon-braided cover, adding to its longevity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1080\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-535339\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/17\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Swiveling and rotating USB-C cable reduces strain and damage\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1080\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-535339\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/02\/17\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Swiveling and rotating USB-C cable reduces strain and damage\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/02\/swiveling-and-rotating-usb-c-cable-reduces-strain-and-damage\/swiveling-rotating-usb-c-cable-02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"4525bb507a13045f79bd0583-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"4525bb507a13045f79bd0583-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This \u201cflexible\u201d USB-C cable supports 240W charging, which is faster than what most wired charging technologies offer today.
