Abstract:
A cord assembly includes a first end including a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C connector, a second end including a Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C connector, a flexible, electrically-conductive cord connecting the first and second ends, an LED light disposed at the first end, an accelerometer configured to generate a signal in response to a predetermined amount of movement of the accelerometer, and a controller coupled to the light and the accelerometer. The controller is configured to, when the second end is connected to a power source and when the first end is not connected to a device, in response to receipt of the signal generated by the accelerometer in response to movement of the accelerometer, control supply of power to the light to illuminate the light.
