Cable Stable Nixes Tech Clutter for Home Officers & Teleworkers

As an occasional road warrior and home office worker who often has to travel — but not SO often that I’m damn good at it, I’ve lamented in the past about where to put my stuff.

Cables, power bricks, batteries, chargers and the like often just get dumped in the bottom of my laptop case — much to my own chagrin when I actually need to go hunting for that ONE adapter, cable or device that I need NOW.

I’ve been like The Seeker from The Who, searching for the The Answer low and high. I’m apparently not alone: Teleworkers and road warriors have the same issues. And my wife returned from a nurse practitioner’s convention recently with a media case that included retractable Ethernet, USB and ear-bud cables, along with a flash drive and a mini-USB hub. Very cool, though I have no idea what Pulmicort Respules (budesonide inhalation suspension) is…

I think I’ve finally found it in the Skooba Design’s Deluxe Cable Stable.

The Skooba Design Deluxe Cable Stable ($39.95) is the “ultimate accessory organizer.” It’s a zippered sleeve that holds multiple adapters, cables, bricks, flash drives, media cards, batteries and the like — in a compact design (10x8x2 inches) — making it small enough to slip into any laptop case without commanding too much space. Its soft-sided design makes it pliable to accommodate large products (the comparison that came to mind was how old suitcases were hard-shell, which didn’t bulge or give; this gives to fit over-sized bricks or other, multiple devices).

Wrote Skooba: “This ‘big brother’ of our standard Cable Stable is a must for the serious road warrior. An elegant, highly efficient way to organize, store and protect all the cords, adapters, batteries, and other accessories that travel with your portable electronics.”

It also features a dozen intelligently designed flexible spaces and touches, like:

– Floating shock cord hold down.

– A pair of zippered mesh pockets.

– Elastic loops.

– “Hide and Go Home” secret pocket for cash, keys and the like.

In sum, fill the Stable with your stuff, stuff it in your laptop case or overnight flight bag, and your stuff’s good to go. Not surprisingly, the Stable was named a Laptop Ultimate Choice product.

Best of all, no more hunting through that rat’s nest of stuff at the bottom of the laptop bag.

The morass is no more.
