People with multiple gadgets are often tied up with jumbled cables. This is probably one of the most common problems faced by those who have to juice up numerous gadgets every night. One ingenious device, the Fishbone Charging Station, tries to unravel these problems to put the battle for wall sockets to an end.

Fishbone is a USB charging station that allows users to charge as many as five devices of various brands, sizes and output. The sleek device keeps the cables organised and charges devices fast. It offers a compact solution for people who wish to charge up multiple devices. The stand contains five USB ports, with auto-sensing technology to automatically deliver the optimal charge to the device plugged in.

Fishbone Charging Station , a Kickstarter project by Trendlift, enables users to keep the devices’ cables neat and organised while charging. The users can just connect the cables and wrap the excess cables around the dock. This means no tangling of excess cables.

It is a USB hub with neat cable-management system provides the best solution for cluttered charging. The smart charging ports with a combined maximum output of 6.8A will automatically detect and adjust the power output to suit the devices’ charging needs. Both Android and Apple devices can be charged with this smart charging station--perfect for tech enthusiasts who dabble in the many available devices today.

Currently, this compact and unique docking system can be backed on Kickstarter. Trendlift has initiated the project with its Kickstarter goal of $30,000. As of writing, the project has already reached $66,107 with 17 days to go in the campaign. To back the project, customers can just pledge at least $29 and immediately get one Fishbone charging dock unit. The maximum package offers four units of Fishbone with 20 charging cables for pledges worth $150 or more. Retailers can enter into partnership at $10,000.

The Fishbone Charging Station has been highly prototyped and tested since June this year. Ideally the project needs to reach its target funding by Sept. 17 to push through.

Trendlift is a hardware company based in Hong Kong. Their aim is to make useful gadgets that facilitate users' everyday needs. The Fishbone Charging Station is expected to begin shipping by mid-December if funding becomes successful.
