Charging cables often become tangled if not coiled properly, causing them to become tangled and difficult to use or transport. This can cause frustration, the cables wear out faster and there is a risk of the connectors becoming damaged.
If this sounds familiar, Statik has the ideal solution. The Statik MagStack Slim Pro cable is a charging cable that rolls up on itself and does not get tangled. You can read exactly how this works below.
Statik MagStack Slim Pro
The Statik MagStack Slim Pro cables are made of reinforced nylon with built-in magnetic properties. This causes the cable to roll up automatically and neatly, so it never gets tangled. You can always use the cable immediately without having to untangle it first.
The MagStack Slim Pro cables are available in variants of USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C. Moreover, you can choose between lengths of 1 or 2 meters.
The USB-C variant has support for 100W fast charging (PD 3.0 and QC) and a transfer speed of 480 Mbps (USB 2.0 standard). This makes the cable useful for transferring large amounts to and from your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
Statik MagStack Slim cable in practice
The real power of the cable lies in its magnetic design: the entire length of the cable adheres to itself. The cable rolls up on itself and that is extremely convenient. If you use the cable on a metal desk, you will notice that it magnetically attaches to it and stays neatly in place.
During everyday use, the cable feels luxurious, with a high-quality woven finish that can withstand up to 30 kg of pulling force. When traveling it stays compact and neatly rolled up, which is a big advantage compared to regular cables that often get tangled quickly.
If you don’t need the entire length of cable, you can keep the excess neatly coiled to keep your workspace neat and organized.
However, the magnets do cause the cable to weigh quite a bit; it is certainly not a lightweight cable. This is something to keep in mind, as the 2 meter cable may be less ideal for on the road.
A weak point of many standard charging cables is the connection between the connector and the cable. Frequent bending makes this the most vulnerable point of the cable, often resulting in cable breakage and rendering the cable unusable.
The connectors of the Statik MagStack Slim cables are reinforced to prevent cable breakage, making them last 10 times longer, according to the manufacturer. You also get a two-year warranty on the cable.
