Double USB Cable Plug Ends Wrong-sided Jamming Frustration


Designer Ma Yi Xuan's Double USB concept design is exactly how every USB plug should be, moving forward. No more shoving a USB cable into your computer the wrong way.

With the Double USB plug, Xuan's goal is to kill the frustration that would normally boil up whenever you plug a USB cable in the wrong way, only to have to flip it around. 

It appears a spring flips the fixed contact for data transfer inside of the USB head up and down, enabling universal plugging. The design fix is so simple that we hope the Universal Promoter Group (people in charge of USB) take note for future USB reference designs.
