Travel gear: Black Box untangles on-the-go electronics
Tired of tangled wires on your portable electronics? The folks at Black Box are on the case — specifically, a 7-inch-square by 2-inch-deep faux-leather case.
The case unzips to reveal five mobile accessories with retractable cables: a USB optical mouse, a USB cable, a cable for wired networking, stereo ear buds, and a notebook AC power cable.
Each item in the Deluxe Retractable Cable Kit ($38.95) pops into and out of its own slot. Extension ranges from 2 feet (for the mouse) to 6.5 feet (for the network cable). The AC power cable is not compatible with all notebook computers, so check ahead.
Info: Black Box, (877) 877-2269.
