These cables are what hold the shock cordage to your Turtlebug hub. Upgraded to a HEAVY DUTY strength, they are a great replacement for the original cables, or just handy to keep in your bag for spares.
Had to obtain replacements because the originals broke after the first use. I was expecting it to be slightly more heavy-duty than it is, and even to have a rubber sleeve to provide additional protection, but no. Honestly, if these break again, I will replace them with Dyneema, which will be even stronger.

Hi James,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
The current hub attachment cables are an upgraded version and are both thicker and stronger than the original coated cables. The previous vinyl sleeve didn’t add strength or structural protection; it was primarily cosmetic. Over time, it could also show surface wear that made the cable appear more damaged than it actually was.
For the updated version, we removed the sleeve and increased the cable thickness to improve durability and eliminate that cosmetic confusion. Since making this change, we have not seen any issues with the upgraded cables breaking.
These replacements are much stronger than the originals. I haven’t had to replace them yet. I got them as backups in the event that the originals start to show signs of wear. I didn’t want to be off on a two week trip and suddenly need them. I keep them in my turtle bug carry bags for now. Construction is solid, as you would expect from YOBO. Shipping was super fast!
The newest iteration of Turtlebug Hub Attachment Cables are far superior, far beefier than the cables that came with the original production run of Turtlebug stands and which subsequently failed with regularity. I am very pleased with Cal and Kristen's responsiveness to issues and concerns with their products brought to their attention by their customers. Besides the fantastic design of their stands, their commitment to quality and service is absolutely top notch.
