The crew behind Australia’s Native Union have designed a new range of cables at CES 2014 this week — the JUMP cable and the NIGHT cable.
The NIGHT cable solves the frustrating problem of short charging cords which limit reach, and longer cords that fall off night-stands and tables providing plenty of tripping opportunities. The 3-meter nylon cable is weighted with a hand-tied knot in the middle, and a leather stopper to keep it in place.
JUMP is a bit more of a multitasker. Funded through a Kickstarter campaign with over a month left, yet already past its goal by 50 percent, this compact cable provides an emergency re-charge, boosting your battery’s life by one-third.
What sets JUMP apart from the other portable SOS chargers is its patented AutoCharge technology. Once it’s done juicing your phone, power gets re-directed to recharge itself automatically, so you’re ready for the next panic moment. The cable comes neatly wrapped around a container small enough to fit inside the coin pocket of a pair of jeans and weighs no more than 2 AA batteries
