The article praises the utility of magnetic breakaway USB-C connectors, emphasizing their role in protecting devices from accidental damage caused by cable yanks or tripping over cords. The author highlights the convenience of a particular model featuring a 180-degree swivel that prevents unwanted disconnections while allowing safe removal. While effective for power supply, this connector supports only USB 2.0 data transfer rates, making it less suitable for high-speed data tasks. The piece underlines its value as a must-have USB accessory for tech users.
I've lost track of how many USB-C ports I've seen destroyed because someone yanked a cable out too hard. This has happened to laptops, desktop PCs, game consoles, TVs, you name it.
This little bit of movement helps prevent the connector from breaking away when you don't want it to while still allowing it to disconnect easily when needed.
