A ton of design detail goes into our phones and computers. But with the charging cables, not so much. Almost inevitably, kinks and tangles make connections shoddy, and the charger starts to misbehave. Eventually, you end up tossing the junked charging cable and shelling out for another one . . . exactly like it.

Break the cycle. dCables are bendy, short USB cables that are made to last. A thick coating of super-strong, rubbery silicone helps them bend easily and fluidly. It makes so much sense—less stress on the connector housing where most chargers deteriorate.

Also, dCables are a lot shorter than your typical charger, resulting in fewer tangles, and a lot more options for portable charging. They can stay neatly plugged in, even in your pocket or purse. And you can easily keep several with you.

Finally, cables as smart as the devices they charge.
