Line Up The Tangles
The problem addressed in the Line Block Cable is so true to home, it’s the one most of us face when we hook up too many gadgets in one area. Not that we can help it, it’s ideal to have the TV, CD player and the music housed together. As a result, their cables leading up to the socket can get messy and unsightly. Line Block cables are constructed in such a way that they can tag 2 or more wires in a piggy-back fashion. Essentially this means that if the gadgets have this unique structured cable, they line up one-atop-the-other and split out only near the socket, to give a neat finish.
This also means a whole new perspective to the wire and cables industry!

Line Up The Tangles – awesome idea, sold! nicely illustrated too. I can see some people having problems with wanting the cable stuck between the others.. Could prove to be a hassle, but then again, its to line up cables that's semi-permanent. not earphones lol
DennisS says
The conductors in a cord need to twist around one another every few inches to prevent undue forces on the connections when bending the cord. Also to reduce field interference.
Great idea as an overmold.
Tom says
Nice idea, although I'd like to see the 'track' where the cable join stop for a few cm every 30cm or so, so that the cable can come off to one side. If it didn't have this, where the cable split to go to the different devices it would slowly pull apart.

But that's pointless… it doesn't sovle the problem I have now which is that my *current* computer power supply doesn't look like that!

It's a cool theory, and I'm definitely behind anything that organizes the many cables we have. However, as Tom said, there'd be issues of the cables pulling apart at the point at which they split directions. Also, the pictures show the plugs all aligned and the cables going off to the unseen uints unit… but since you mount all your gadgets in different spots in your casework, you'll have different travel lengths and some electronics will have excess cable to coil on one end or the other. Then there is the issue of grounded/ungrounded cables, wire sizes… but as this concept develops, I think it would be cool to see how these issues are addressed!

It's a good idea but different units will have different lengths of cord. If they were to all end at the plug there would be varying amounts of slack on the gadget end of cable. A good idea but the issue with cord length and cables separating would make it a bit of a hassle no?

You illustrated this whole process well. Thanks for the tips.

this is brilliant idea to save the mess
Szilveszter says
yeah there are lot of cable with "O" quer-cut so what if the solition is like line up the wires they exist insted of produce totaly new one. But I find this idea get them in line really good.

Great idea but if the copper Wire became heated ? i think the Rubber should be more Heated bearing

Nice Idea. The only problem is you have to replace all cables. But could be a good option if the price is appropriate.

I have major OCD about wires in my house, I have sideboards that go right down to the ground so you can't see them. This idea is perfect! Just what I need.
Karri says
I hate the bundle of cords that hide behind my desk. I really enjoy this idea and hope to see it become a common product.

If current will be under 3Ahmpers it will be kaboom!
It is good for low voltage use, but not for 220Volts
