Since Steve Jobs introduced the MacBook Pros back in 2006 with the "new" MagSafe, a power connector that provided charge to the equipment battery But with a novelty that although a priori it was something that did not attract too much attention, over time it was shown that it was a success in addition to being very useful, I am referring effectively to the magnetic connection that prevented that if it suffered a pull the cable could drag the equipment to the ground.
Basically this is the idea that the Mack company has used to move it to 3,5mm jack connector And it does the same function, that is, if we give the cable a tug, we will not drag the device. The example of being with the helmets in front of the equipment comes to mind and getting up without realizing it with them on, taking the laptop or equipment in between. With this solution they will simply disconnect.
The company in question is based in Hungary and the connector they present has two parts, that is, one of magnet on the tip It plugs into the 3,5mm headphone jack on one output device, with the round head poking out slightly, while the other acts as a kind of a pod from the 3.5mm headphone jack.
Actually the usefulness of this type of connector is somewhat debatable, at least for the use that I could give it on a personal basis, since normally the length of the headphone cable is enough to this type of accident not happen besides that the helmets are on our head and not in a socket on the ground, so the accident rate will be much lower.
The Connector can already be reserved for a price of 14 dollars as a kit or for only 8 dollars the basic one in a wide variety of colors, it is available through the Indiegogo platform to be delivered already in January 2016.
It is seen that good ideas can be inherited.
