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.

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?

This would indeed be VERY useful. If used all over, the creator of this would be very rich...
lets get on this!
the comments you left on my last blog post were really helpful :)
I think this is a great idea.
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.
useful post !
supporting you
take care.
i want this! this make everything looks neat!
potential...but they add bulk.
interesting!
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*
Definately a neat idea, jist getting the people to buy it would be the problem
thats so cool!
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.
do this and get rich
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.
wow those look awesome!
LOOKS GREAAT
wow thats rly kool my entertainment center could def use this
this would definitely make plugs less of a hassle!
i like it =oit could work really well
I dont know. It coould work but I have to see it in action.
Must have...
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.
theyd prolly make my life MORE difficult lol. plug goes where!?
It looks good but I'd wait to see if it actually worked.
Id totally buy into this, being a technician I see lots of houses with the tangle problem including mine.
Cool concept, but it really wouldn't work when you have wires going in total opposite directions like I do.
yes they would
yes i do believe so
you should view my page if you need some humor :D
wow that a nice power cord
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.
YES! Most definitely! my cables are always intertwined!
Hell, even if they aren't perfect, they'd be a definite step up from what we have now.
awesome article, if they were to implement this the right way, would totally revolutionize the cord/wire/hook-up problems of most
i say we get this cause its awesome
Looks like an idea I could get behind - but we need the entire industry to adopt it for it to be useful...
i don't really mind power cables, i suppose this is a good idea if your cables arent different length and sizes.
eh, probably wouldn't make a huge difference in my life. thanks though.
This is actually a really great idea. It'd definitely make computer assembly and dis-assembly a whole lot easier.
Where can I get this, I need it now!
Naw, I don't think it would be too much of a change
It mostly depends on the charge running through it. I would hate to have electrical interference.
wow, i never imagine that
i'll wait for wireless electricity
Thats a pretty cool concept
This looks like a great idea, hope it's improved
This makes so much.
Just what i needed
that's pretty darn cool, says I. They are like electric snakes giving each other piggyback rides.
i hate cables! i want a wireless future!!!
hmmm cool, I wonder how much theyll cost
Looks like a cool idea, I like the idea of wireless energy transfer as proposed by tesla.
I WANNA BUY THIS RIGHT NOW!!1
Wow. I wish they'd move forward with this idea!
I like the idea. Not sure how it would work in the States though.
Wow, it look kinda... strange that power cables, like a usb cable...
This idea has a lot of potential.
Returning the favour. :)
If it means getting rid of the clutter, then they should make this!
siq post bro
would definitely make life easier, but is it necessary ?
Yeah I reckon.
Just needs to be picked up
Cool post man!Thanks!
Supp :D
interesting concept, but as sad as it may be, it might never see the light of the day.
good idea in principle
it would be useful. i think that so it must.
That would make my life so much easier. I have like a million cables everywhere!
Sadly, adaptation would probably take forever.
great post
i love it, i wanna one
that's clever!
ten thousand times easier!
those look like they'd solve a lot of my life's problems.
Nice.
oh yes man
ill invest with you!
Wow. these cables are awesome. Someone should invest money.
look at the wires, theres sad face :(
brilliant
Cool concept.
Now, if we had only listened to Tesla, we wouldn't need these damn wires at all.
somehow it seems this wouldnt solve the problem with my cords
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....
Hook me up!
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.
I like it. Anything that reduces the cable jungle in my house is very welcome.
So why isn't this being used everywhere yet?
can't that be solved by a clip?
