Frankfurt, Germany (April 24, 2008) - Here''s a product that has been quite a hit at music shows around the world in the last year -- the Snap Jack cable.

The Zzyzx Snap Jack cable uses magnets to connect a cable''s core wire to its jacks. A simple pull allows you to separate the cable from the jacks quickly and without any signal pop. A variety of Snap Jack designs give you different options, too -- some allow you to lock the cable to the jack, and some are decorative. The company is also planning to roll out models for XLR and other connector types, too.
