Review on πŸ”Œ Cobra Straight Power Cord: The Perfect Match for Cobra Radar Detectors by Leroy Estell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Get it, not the coiled power cord!

I use this (and a Cobra radar detector) alternately between motorbike and car. I have previously purchased one of the coiled cables to replace the faulty original coiled cable, but I like the straight cable much, much better as it doesn't maintain constant tension on the 90 degree connector to the radar detector. Both of my coiled cords failed immediately after the 90 degree wire connection as it must have come loose from the DC voltage on one of the pins. There's nothing worse than constantly moving the joint when the radar signal is off and only letting it work until the car hits the next bump. With untwisted cable there is no voltage on this connection and I expect this will be the last thing I will ever have to buy. Obviously the cable is longer than a twisted pair cable, but I can wrap my cable around a motorcycle mirror or just leave it hanging in the car and it works great.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • A few small things
