At 24,800 yen, it is easily the most expensive USB extension cable I've ever seen. It's also easily the strangest I've ever seen -- a plate of spaghetti.



SolidAlliance announced the "Cable ga Napolitain" USB extension cable o­n the 25th, and released it the same day. The cost is 24,800 yen.

Cable ga Napolitain is another USB realted product that uses food samples, continuing after the fried shrimp [1], crab, and sushi [2]. This time we have a "USB Extension cable," which uses a Napolitain motif. Napolitain is often considered the "Don of food samples" (Mr. K of SolidAlliance). It also has a faithful reproduction of a fork with spaghetti wrapped around it floating in the air.

Since it is just a USB extension cable, there is o­nly o­ne USB port. The port is o­n the end of the floating fork.
