# Computer Cable Reinforcers The Python Cord Keeps Your Charger Wire from Splitting Prematurely By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-12-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/python-cord References: [redesignrevolution](http://www.redesignrevolution.com/5-innovative-kickstarter-projects-that-will-blow-you-away/) & [kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/526534777/python-cords-utilitarian-macbook-charger-protectio) [MacBook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabric-laptop-case) computers are marvelously built machines, but their chargers seem to be lacking the same quality control. The Python Cord is a clever invention that allows you to protect the unfortunately delicate cable that often splits apart at one or both ends and breaks. To avoid having to spend a frustratingly large sum on a new adapter, Elliott Snyder offers a preventative solution. A segment of pre-stretched tubing can be easily slipped over the tiny tip of the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-pro-cable) laptop connector. Just unravel the spiraling stent and the material with close snugly around the wire and extend along more than an inch of it. This will support the common stress point and spread it out. Finally, a removable clip keeps the Python Cord in place. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Computer Cable Reinforcement:** The creation of the Python Cord suggests opportunities for innovation in improving the quality and durability of computer charger cables. - **Preventative Technology:** Python Cord highlights the potential for innovation in creating products that prevent damage and prolong the lifespan of small appliances and tech accessories. - **Customizable Accessories:** The removable clip on the Python Cord suggests opportunities for innovation in creating tech-related accessories that can be personalized for the user. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Python Cord ties into the consumer electronics industry and offers opportunities for companies to improve the overall quality of products in this category. - **Tech Accessories and Peripherals:** Elliott Snyder's Python Cord creates disruption opportunities for companies that manufacture and sell tech accessories and peripherals, encouraging them to create products with improved durability and reliability. - **Home and Office Organizational Tools:** Python Cord fits into the category of home and office organizational tools and highlights potential opportunities for creating creative and innovative products that support organization and improve life hacks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Real-Time Monitoring Charging Cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipofy-cable.md) - [Sleek Charging Cable Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taim.md) - [Wire-Eliminating Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mouse-bungee.md) - [Phone Charger Wire Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/co-cable-organizer.md) - [Magnetic Charging Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connect-pro-cable.md) - [Magnetic Self-Folding Charging Cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ivycable.md) - [All-in-One Desk Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cord-1.md) - [Multipurpose Magnetic Cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supercalla-cable.md) - [Folding Multi-Position Charger Cables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keychain-charger-cable.md)
