Motteru MOT-RECC100 retractable USB-C cable, Digi Mart USA News (Japan): Motteru has released a retractable USB-C to USB-C cable designed to solve the common problem of cables tangling or going missing in bags. According to a Notebookcheck report, the MOT-RECC100 was released in Japan on November 13, with both ends extending from a compact circular housing roughly the size of an earbud charging case.
The cable offers four adjustable lengths: 40 cm (15.75 inches), 65 cm (25.59 inches), 85 cm (33.46 inches), and 100 cm (39.37 inches). Once charging is finished, the cable winds back inside the housing.
Motteru states that the cable supports USB Power Delivery Extended Power Range (EPR) with a maximum rating of 240W (48V/5A). The manufacturer says this is sufficient for demanding laptops, provided the charger and connected device also support the required charging standard.
The report notes a trade-off: data transfer is limited to USB 2.0 speeds of 480Mbps, making the cable unsuitable for moving large video files between high-speed drives. Motteru says the cable passed more than 20,000 bending cycles and 5,000 retraction cycles during testing, and it weighs about 47 grams.
It is available in Almond Milk and Smoky Black and includes a two-year warranty.
The regular Japanese price is ¥2,200. Motteru has also introduced a limited-quantity offer of ¥1,480 through retailers including Rakuten and Yahoo Shopping. The durability figures are manufacturer claims and have not been independently verified.
