This is the difficult part when the whole cable is a single solid color and the plug fits either direction. I have a Lightning cable in my car that only gets used hanging straight down from my dash-mounted iPhone, and I've noticed the device-end strain relief finally giving out from this after a few years.
- handrous 5y agoAgreed that some kind of stripe would make this a lot easier. Save me testing directions and trying to judge which has more tension. I do the same thing with keyed plugs, though—if anything, I find it easier to accidentally introduce more twists in those, since I'm more likely to need to half-twist it one way or the other to get it oriented the right way.
