Zonkey Custom Coiled USB Cables
« on: Wed, 19 June 2013, 07:01:55 »
So I stumbled on this site the other day which purportedly sells custom coiled usb cables, and I emailed them to ask what kind of prices they have on custom work (I would've just bought a cable off the site, but all their premade cables are micro-b), but I haven't heard back yet. Does anyone know anything about this company? I am sort of wondering if they still exist (the website is a .biz, when was the last time you saw that?). Maybe if they get back to me I could talk to them about doing a big order and we could get a group buy together if people are interested.

This thread is in off topic because it didn't seem to fit anywhere else.

Yes.  Nice find.  I don't want Hot Pink, but a beige USB coiled cord would be perfect for a Soarer'd Model F.

Update: Their live chat system works, I spoke with a rep, and ordered a couple. Custom cables with mini-b connectors were only $1 than the premade ones with micro-b connectors, presumably because they are making the coiled cables themselves anyway. Note: Custom orders have to be done with a credit card over the phone, their website doesn't have a way to handle them.

I also asked her about pricing tiers for bulk orders, and she is sending me that info via email. If it seems feasible, I'll set up an IC.

Can you ask them what the actual length is coiled up? The way they write their description, it sounds like I might get a 1' cable (who knows) that "extends over 4'".

edit: I found one that actually had the info:
