RoadWired Cable Stable

Gadgeteer Hands On Review by William Ray Jr.

February 11, 2004

 

The RoadWired Cable Stable (Deluxe Size) is an organizer designed specifically for all the cords, adapters, and miscellaneous items that we all need to go along with our digital cameras, PDAs, and other electronic devices. This folding case will probably prove most useful for those with a lot of cords, as this is its primary purpose.

The case is made of 1050 Denier Ballistic Nylon -- a rugged material that seems to be RoadWired's fabric of choice. I have been dragging around a camera bag made of the same stuff for about four months now and it is holding up very well. The overall size is 10"L x 8"W x 2"D and it weighs in at 6 oz.

The design includes a heavy duty zipper with two pulls. The case flattens out when empty and expands to accommodate it's contents. The padding is more than adequate protection for the types of items it was designed to carry.

One side of the case contains yellow shock cords arranged to fasten down large cords, adapters, etc. The other side has zippered mesh pockets for smaller items. I found it relatively easy to organize the cables for my laptop and digital camera. I even found a place for my wife's PDA accessories -- with room to spare.

Gadgeteers with lesser cord storage needs might want to consider the Cable Stable (Standard Size) -- a smaller version weighing in at 5 ounces for $24.95.
