Attention Device Manufacturers: Label your Power Supplies!
Posted by Chris Leckness on 02/26/06 in Rants
Attention Device Manufacturers:
Can we stop using generic power sources for our devices, at least spend a little extra to get your logo or name branded on them somewhere.
You see, the problem is that some of us gadget geeks like to keep stuff. I have 2 drawers full of old cases, devices, sync cables, power cords, etc! The problem exists when I need to dig something out, what the hell goes with what? In this photo below, you can see I started using plastic bags to store and label old cables, power supplies, and cradles. I go through so much junk that I have a hard time keeping up and have abandoned the fight.
The only thing I can recognize right when I look into the mess of wires is my Kjam power cord. I only recognize this because of the foreign adapter I had to use!
So PLEASE, lets start putting some kind of labeling on these! Most of these power cords have some company I have never heard of.

Agreed, but most of those are with the smaller companies.
My PSP, iPod, Dell Axims, Canon, and Logitech ones are all labeled :)
I have 3 bluetooth headsets that I am trying to pairup with their charge cable, its HELL I tell ya!
Hehehe, I know what you mean, some just look so alike…yet are not compatible
My favorite is looking for GPS power cords lol!
I simply purchased a LaberWriter to make my own labels for my power cords, since most have that big butt box for the plug itself.
Ample room, and that way I know where and what to look for. Another option, is that you can use a Silver Marker to indicate what those plugs are for. Works great on the black casing.
