New Helix PowerSnakes Cable From Shunyata ?


Hi, just like to know is Shunyata launching their new line of Helix PowerSnakes Cable ?

I notice from their website that the color of Taipan, Python & Anaconda are difference. They also indicated "New Helix PowerSnakes "

Thanks.

There used to be patents listed for both the winding geometry and the "magic dust" used in these designs on the website.

I read them both. The winding geometry description was difficult to follow and I couldn't tell in what way this layup differs from other cables that use a woven geometry such as Kimber, etc.

It is amazing what can be patented these days. I would have thought that this weave is not sufficiently different to all prior artwork of this type to merit a patent award.

I DIYed a couple of powercords many years ago and used a similar weave. It did seem to work better than the same wires just bundled together.
