Cordotz Prove That Little Things Can Make A Big Difference
My desk is a cable nightmare. At any given time, I have at least five devices plugged in, five USB connections flowing, and a few sound and video cables. More than once, I have unplugged the wrong device only to lose data and scream. Cordotz appear simple, but I think they would make a world of difference in my desk space.
Cordotz are color-coded, plastic tabs that are put on the ends of cables to help mark them and keep the organized. You can put matching tabs on each side of a cord so that it is easy to identify, trace, and arranged. You can put different icons inside the tabs that identify exactly what cable is going where. The tabs also come connected to cable ties which enables you to easily keep cables together, which keeps your desktop from turning into a spaghetti mess. If you use the Cordotz, but still have a few cables lying around (think iPod sync cable), the Cordwrap is available to keep a cable tightly wound and stored neatly. The Cordotz system is simple and easy, but it has just enough of a "gadget" feel to keep people using it.
Overall the system is pretty inexpensive. A set of Cordotz and icons will cost about $9.99. In fact, every piece of the Cordotz system will cost you $9.99. Cable messes are definitely not my thing, hopefully Cordotz will be.
