Twelve South launches new sculptural USB-C CableStay Anchor today

Twelve South is launching the latest edition to its lineup of tech accessories today with the new CableStay. Following releases like the PowerBug and PowerCord, the CableStay takes a simple and yet practical approach to organizing your setup, offering a decor-friendly way to keep cables in place. 

The band describes the new CableStay as a weighted cable anchor with a premium design. But unlike many of these cable weights we have seen, Twelve South’s CableStay is actually an integrated 5-foot woven 60W USB-C cable with an integrated weighted cable anchor – it is “designed as a single, color-coordinated set built to solve the universal frustration of cables sliding off desks, nightstands, and countertops.” 

CableStay is built for the small moments you repeat every day, keeping your cable within reach while making your space feel more intentional. 

Features a a glance:

  • Weighted soft-touch silicone stay keeps cables in place without friction or locking 
  • 5-foot woven USB-C to USB-C cable with a 4mm build, reinforced construction at stress points, and silicone coating for long-term durability 
  • Up to 60W USB-C Power Delivery for charging iPhone, iPad, and Mac accessories 
  • Color-matched cable and anchor designed as a single coordinated set 
  • Available in Jelly Mint, Electric Fuchsia, Slate, and Dune 
  • Compact and travel-friendly, the anchor and cable pack flat for easy carry 
  • Use the anchor with other USB-C cables you already own, not just the included USB-C cable 

The actual weighted portion features a sculptural, tactile design that “prevents drops without friction or locking, allowing smooth, natural movement while holding steady at the edge of any surface.”

Again it is a super simple basic premise, but one that can come in handy for folks with the need to have a spare USB-C cable at the ready. This isn’t anything particular new – we have seen cable holders and weights from many brands for years, but Twelve South is one of the best in the accessory business and I would imagine this is probably one of the better examples for folks that might require this sort of thing. I also like the idea that the weighted anchor portion features a unique and interesting home decor-like design for those who can appreciate this sort of thing. 

The new Twelve South CableStay is available today at $29.99 in four matching color sets: Jelly Mint, Electric Fuchsia, Slate, and Dune.
