Cable Wranglin’

Being a company that sells cables, we understand that when you acquire (and frequently use) many cables, things can get a bit out of hand (tangled in some cases, chaos in others). Thankfully, we also have the cable management side of things covered, with CableDrops, CableClips, and the Cableyoyo. While there are certainly some beautiful product photos up there, I figured I’d throw up a “real world” pic of all the ones I use fairly regularly. They’re super handy if you find yourself dealing with cable-mess. Also, the Nest snuck in there for good measure, as it’s always right on my desk as well.

Attn: Micro USB Devices, You’ve Been CableJive’d

Listen-up all you Android, Blackberry, Kindle, Nook, or any other type of Micro USB connected device users! We’ve finally made our first official foray into your world, and hopefully we can make life a little easier for you. Our smash hit iStubz and xlSync cables are now available for your devices too! Need a super-short charge and sync cable for travel? Look no further than the CableJive-official microStubz cable. Or, are you on the other end, and need extra length? Then the xlSync for Micro USB is your answer. What’s that you say? You need a regular length cable?! Well, we have those too, but their less exciting.

They’re all on sale right now and available on the CableJive store and Amazon. We’re pretty fired up about these, and we hope they can help as many people (or more) as their older brothers did. (Or is it cousins? Cable family trees are confusing).

CableJive and Maximizing What You Have

As many cars thankfully have these days, mine has a simple AUX input so I can listen to audio from a variety of sources while driving around. In my car this input is conveniently located right under the stereo controls, on the front of the system. For a while I had a regular 1/8″ to 1/8″ cable connected for listening to music from my iPhone 4. Audio quality was fine going through the headphone port on the iPhone (as good as it could be coming from there), and I was able to connect power to the 30-pin port on the bottom as well. Of couse, this meant that I had a loop of cables connected to both the top and bottom of my iPhone anytime I wanted to listen and charge at the same time. In addition to being cumbersome for anyone-especially a driver who may need to quickly answer a call or change songs (only when stopped of course)-this setup also prevented me from being able to store my iPhone in any convenient areas in my car (such as the designated phone port, where I also keep a near continuous supply of Orbit Wintermint gum). The result being that I’d usually just leave everything strewn about the passengers seat or cup holders. Not a good look, amongst other things

The +USB Line Out Dock Cable really cleared these issues up quick. It allows me to run high quality line out audio from my iPhone through the AUX input and charge it at the same time all through the 30-pin connector on the bottom. This makes storing and handling my iPhone significantly more convenient while it’s connected to the stereo system. It might not sound like a huge difference, but it’s been an enormous help. One of those little things you deal with every day, but it’s not until you STOP dealing with it that you realize how much of an improvement has been made.

For the photo above, I connected all the CableJive products I keep in my car to show how they’ve helped me maximize my available options, and turn my system into an all-in-one music-bumping device-charging machine! As stated above, the +USB Line Out Dock Cable provides both the audio (via my car’s AUX port) and charging connections. I also used a 6 ft. dockXtender cable to extend the length of that 30-pin connection and run it under my seats so I can keep it closer to me on the drivers side without having to leave the wire dangling in front. The dualCharge provides the power via my car’s DC power port (AKA the artist formally known as the cigarette lighter port). I keep both an iStubz and microStubz cable in my center console for use with the extra USB port the dualCharge provides, incase any of my passengers need to juice up as well.

So, there’s my setup (it normally looks much cleaner, but I wanted to squeeze everything into that picture). We’d love to see how YOU use CableJive products to get what you want out of your car or home audio system. Feel free to share your story or pics with us at information@cablejive.com.
