Would These Concept Power Cables Make Your Life Easier?

Despite making almost everything we use every day of our lives work, power cables are despised, and we haven't innovated our way out of them yet. This nesting concept cable, however, aims to tame the jungle. But would it work?

The Line Block cables click and seal together like a Ziploc bag—the idea being that you can lock a whole cluster of them together into one electricity snake, rather than the rat's nest of wiring I have behind my TV right now. It looks good on paper—as many concepts do—but some are skeptical, worrying that power bricks and outlets would split up the linked wiring. Hard to say based on nothing more than a rendered image, but we salute any attempts to maintain order.

  1. This would indeed be VERY useful. If used all over, the creator of this would be very rich...

  3. It's a great idea, but I don't see any grounds in those cables. I wonder if they could set up a ground in that top ridge.

  6. That would be quite awesome. Although I am still not sure if it would work out good. Guess there's only one way to find out *heads of to store selling that shit*

  7. Definately a neat idea, jist getting the people to buy it would be the problem

  8. i don't understand how it would work. you could still only have like two at the most at a time right? for normal wall sockets. i mean obviously you could use a power strip, but still.. i don't like it.
    personally, it'd be more of a hassle than normal.

    i just hope they figure out how to make wireless power cords in my life time.. or preferably machines that consume so little energy they can run virtually forever on an infinitesimally small charge.

  9. I don't think this would change my life but keeping the wires a little more neat would be nice indeed, and the concept is pure genius.

  11. this would definitely make plugs less of a hassle!

  12. i like it =oit could work really well

    ReplyDelete
  13. I dont know. It coould work but I have to see it in action.

    ReplyDelete
  14. The answer would be a definite, "YES!" On top of my TV and cable & internet cords, I have like 15 gaming systems and their power and RF adapter, etc cords which makes it very a hard (a jungle!) when I'm trying to switch between using consoles. I could use something like this.

  16. theyd prolly make my life MORE difficult lol. plug goes where!?

    ReplyDelete
  17. It looks good but I'd wait to see if it actually worked.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Id totally buy into this, being a technician I see lots of houses with the tangle problem including mine.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Cool concept, but it really wouldn't work when you have wires going in total opposite directions like I do.

    ReplyDelete
  20. yes i do believe so

    you should view my page if you need some humor :D

    ReplyDelete
  21. Damn...wish I had thought that up. I dunno how useful it will be though...seems like it would get complicated with a lot of cables.

    ReplyDelete
  22. YES! Most definitely! my cables are always intertwined!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hell, even if they aren't perfect, they'd be a definite step up from what we have now.

    ReplyDelete
  24. awesome article, if they were to implement this the right way, would totally revolutionize the cord/wire/hook-up problems of most

    ReplyDelete
  25. i say we get this cause its awesome

    ReplyDelete
  26. Looks like an idea I could get behind - but we need the entire industry to adopt it for it to be useful...

    ReplyDelete
  27. i don't really mind power cables, i suppose this is a good idea if your cables arent different length and sizes.

    ReplyDelete
  28. eh, probably wouldn't make a huge difference in my life. thanks though.

    ReplyDelete
  29. This is actually a really great idea. It'd definitely make computer assembly and dis-assembly a whole lot easier.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Where can I get this, I need it now!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Naw, I don't think it would be too much of a change

    ReplyDelete
  32. It mostly depends on the charge running through it. I would hate to have electrical interference.

    ReplyDelete
  33. i'll wait for wireless electricity

    ReplyDelete
  34. This looks like a great idea, hope it's improved

    ReplyDelete
  35. that's pretty darn cool, says I. They are like electric snakes giving each other piggyback rides.

    ReplyDelete
  36. i hate cables! i want a wireless future!!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. hmmm cool, I wonder how much theyll cost

    ReplyDelete
  38. Looks like a cool idea, I like the idea of wireless energy transfer as proposed by tesla.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Wow. I wish they'd move forward with this idea!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I like the idea. Not sure how it would work in the States though.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Wow, it look kinda... strange that power cables, like a usb cable...

    ReplyDelete
  42. This idea has a lot of potential.

    Returning the favour. :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. If it means getting rid of the clutter, then they should make this!

    ReplyDelete
  44. would definitely make life easier, but is it necessary ?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yeah I reckon.
    Just needs to be picked up

    ReplyDelete
  46. interesting concept, but as sad as it may be, it might never see the light of the day.

    ReplyDelete
  47. it would be useful. i think that so it must.

    ReplyDelete
  48. That would make my life so much easier. I have like a million cables everywhere!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Sadly, adaptation would probably take forever.

    ReplyDelete
  50. those look like they'd solve a lot of my life's problems.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Wow. these cables are awesome. Someone should invest money.

    ReplyDelete
  52. look at the wires, theres sad face :(

    ReplyDelete
  53. Cool concept.

    Now, if we had only listened to Tesla, we wouldn't need these damn wires at all.

    ReplyDelete
  54. somehow it seems this wouldnt solve the problem with my cords

    ReplyDelete
  55. tis idea is just dumb lol...all cords are different lengths and go different ways , if you want cords together use a zip-tie you ree-rees , and yes they need to make a wireless power source for homes....

    ReplyDelete
  56. It looks like a good idea. But like you said, all we have to go on is a picture, so I guess as time moves onward, we'll find out more about this.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I like it. Anything that reduces the cable jungle in my house is very welcome.

    ReplyDelete
  58. So why isn't this being used everywhere yet?

    ReplyDelete
  59. can't that be solved by a clip?
