Overview
Modern, functional and fun, CONNEX is looking to change the cables that power our devices (compatible with all modern apple or android devices) The CONNEX™-cable, is a smart cable that improves on the design of existing cables, being shorter (which prevents tangles), but not so short as to make it difficult to use. It can stretch and gives you a great deal of flexibility to connect devices at a distance and awkward uneven port level, and immediately returns to its original form!

A CARD-shaped Self-COLLAPSIBLE Data/Charging CABLE : Eliminate Clunky, Annoying Cords for Good!



It's broadly agreed nearly every cable for smart devices leaves a great deal to be desired. Most are too long, which leads to tangles and other headaches while others are simply too short. Our CONNEX™-cable boldly responds to this problem with the size of a credit card and effortlessly connects your digital devices for transferring data and charging. This new solution will eliminate the current annoyances of your tangling and bulky wire cables and those extra short length cables.

  • Data Transfer (Phone, Tablet, Camera, Speaker, Navigation Device, Laptop, Mac, PC, etc.) 
  • Device Charging (Phone, Tablet, Camera, Power Bank, Speaker, etc) 
  • Mitigating Hassles (Tangles, Irritations, Frustrations, and so on)

Traditional charging and data cables are about 3 feet 5 inches (3'5"), which can cause you inconveniences that are just unnecessary. A cable of this length is prone to easy tangling with other cables like your earphones and peripheral’s cords. This can cause one big tangling mess!




Thanks to the Ultra-Durable Silicone's elasticity and physical strength, the cable immediately returns to its original form!

We offer both an Apple Lightning Connector version for all Apple product connectivity; iMac, MacBook, iPhone, iPad, iPod AND a Micro USB connector version for most Android devices and PC.

The CONNEX™-cable is the most creative universal cable providing an easy compact tangle-free solution that you can personalize. You can draw and put other forms of art on the cable. It's a great fun way to express yourself! Enhance with a logo or your own design! It is a fun way to have it filled with doodle, sketches and other flights of ink-filled fancy.

There is a wide array of colors to suit your preferences and match all of your devices. This is ultimate convenience with style.

Amazing Experience 

Sometimes, conventional cables are too long and inconvenient to use on the move, where as some short length cables are just that little bit too short! This leaves you stuck on the middle with no real solution! Most stick type short length charging cables require extra effort to get an equal port level, facing angle and so on. With the CONNEX™-cable, you won’t experience these common issues for much longer – Easy use and no tangling gives you a much greater experience. This is a truly simple solution to an irritating problem most of us face each day!

Most stick type (a.k.a Key chain) short length charging cables are limited to connecting devices at a distance and uneven port levels OR to charge devices from the wall outlet.

Thoughtful Design 

This cable was not only designed small and slim, but also performs the best for great stretch and complete collapse. Through our series of studies, we found a unique cutting pattern that gives us the best result for performance. We designed it with complete space efficiency in mind. The space for the cable and connector over mold has been precisely allocated for the entire volume to mitigate the total area.

Along with its elasticity and physical strength, our design solution also helps it to prevent rips and tears.

Superb Material

CONNEX™-cable is made of Ultra-Durable Synthetic Silicone for great stretch and perfect collapse. Flexible to your every need!

Silicone exhibits many useful characteristics, including: 

  • High tensile strength 
  • Low thermal conductivity 
  • Low chemical reactivity 
  • Low toxicity Thermal stability (constancy of properties over a wide temperature range of −100 to 250 °C). 
  • The ability to repel water 
  • Does not stick to many substrates, but adheres very well to others, e.g. glass. 
  • Does not support microbiological growth. 
  • Electrical insulation properties. Because silicone can be formulated to be electrically insulative or conductive, it is suitable for a wide range of electrical applications.

Risks and challenges

It took months for all of our designers and tooling engineers to collaborate and develop the CONNEX™-cable requiring significant contribution for refinement of the cable. The most comprehensive solution was accomplished after much iteration to get a final design.

The flexible flat type cable needs a complex Silicon/Plastic over-molding process. If the material condition is not appropriate for its functionality, we will immediately investigate and re-optimize the process for the best result adjusting tooling and material property. Our goal is to eliminate nearly of all the issues before starting production so that we can present you with the perfect device. Our aim is to give our customers the best possible product with the CONNEX™-cable, with no compromises.
