Post by Joe BeanfishPost by Alan BrownePost by Jan K.I bought a set of six 10-foot braided cords for both the iPhone and for the
Android phone (lightning & usb-c) and they work great except when they're
coiled up among stuff.
Then I'm always pulling on the cord to find out which is the end that is
USB-A and which is the lightning or USB-C end.
Do they make 10-foot cords with little arrows braided into the jacket?
Use a marker or electrical tape or something to colour code the ends of
the cables.
I don't think the ends are the problem. As I read it, one is posed with
the problem of having the middle of the cable at hand and neither end
in sight. So which way to go on the cable to find the end you need? Therefore
the labels need to be all along the length of the cable.
Honestly, I fail to see the issue and what would really be gained if
some kind of marking, other than the obvious size difference and
appearance of the plugs, would actually make. If either end is plugged
in, and as you say "out of sight", you already know what the other end
is. If they're both plugged in, knowing what they're plugged into gives
the same result.
If they're coiled or rolled up not plugged in, how hard is it to really
just bring the little bit of cable close enough you can figure it out.
Once you know, you then place each end in the appropriate device. I
must be missing something, because I just don't see the problem.
