Magnetic USB Power Cables

The BreakSafe Magnetic USB Type C Cable is Coming to CES 2016

— January 5, 2016 — Tech
At this year's CES 2016, Griffin Technology is making a point to improve upon the design of Apple's MagSafe power connector with its BreakSafe Magnetic USB Type C Cable.

MagSafe technology means that a cable can easily be disconnected from a laptop, which is particularly important for when users accidentally trip over cords. While this is a feature that has the potential to save hundreds of dollars in laptop repairs, Griffin Technology noted that it's no longer useful with the new USB-C on all new MacBooks.

The BreakSafe Magnetic USB Type C Cable is designed to reintroduce these essential safety features once more with its patent-pending quick-release magnetic connector. The magnetic connector itself measures about 12 mm, so this piece can always remain attached to the computer without being an inconvenience.
Trend Themes
1. Improved Magnetic Connectors - Breaking away from traditional USB cables, improved magnetic connectors offer convenience and safety to prevent accidental damage and disconnections.
2. USB-C Compatibility - The rise of USB-C technology creates a demand for magnetic USB cables that are compatible with new MacBook models and other devices.
3. Quick-release Magnetic Connectors - The development of quick-release magnetic connectors provides a seamless and efficient way to connect and disconnect USB devices without hassle.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can leverage improved magnetic connectors to enhance the user experience and ensure device safety.
2. Computer Hardware - The computer hardware industry can explore USB-C compatible magnetic cables to provide users with a convenient and secure charging solution.
3. Accessories and Peripherals - The accessories and peripherals industry has an opportunity to tap into the market for quick-release magnetic connectors, offering enhanced connectivity options for various devices.
