LightSnake cables debut

SoundTech Professional Audio today unveiled a full line of LightSnake-powered computer accessory cables (different product shown at right) that enable users to connect printers, iPods, MP3 players, digital cameras, and more using the company's "Live when Lit" technology. The new cables allow users to see when the cable is properly connected via a constant glow, and flash when data is transmitted over the cables which takes the guesswork out of setting up USB-connected computer accessories and peripherals. The cables are constructed from 28/24-guage wire and gold plated copper contacts, featuring molded strain relief and PVC over the molding. The new line of cables includes USB-A to USB-B, USB-A to USB-A, USB-A to USB 5-pin Mini-B, USB-A to USB-A extension, and USB-A to iPod dock connectivity. Each cable features foil and a braided shield, and are each expected to ship for $50 during the first quarter of 2007.
