It’s not just your “Misc. Cables and Wires” box. It’s a collection of wonderful time-frozen moments that may or may not be useful again.

Look at them, all twisted and coiled around each other, just like the recollections of them in your mind. There’s the power cable to your very first computer. Gosh, that Power Macintosh was something, wasn’t it? Oh, and it’s wrapped up in the cord from your very first monitor, too! Sure, you threw out the Mac and the monitor years ago, but getting rid of these would’ve broken your heart! Besides, you might be able to use them in the future, right?

And there’s that AC adapter from your dad’s electric razor that also worked with that old boom box you got rid of 9, maybe 10, years ago! Hey, and isn’t that the power supply to the answering machine you had on your first apartment? You can’t just toss those out, either! That’d be like throwing out a favorite blanket! And who knows? They still may come in handy someday down the road. It could totally happen.

Maybe one day this Philips 6’ High Speed HDMI Cable w/ Swivel Connector will find a place among the USB cables of yesterday in that very same box. Long after it’s outlived its usefulness supporting video resolutions of 4x 1080p and beyond, as well as all 3D formats, it too will live out the rest of its days tucked away in closet along with all the unused blank CDs and floppy disks you’re still keeping “just in case”. After all, decades from now, a relative might leave you an old Blu-ray player in his will unexpectedly. Without the spare HDMI cable you’ve been hiding away, it might as well be a paperweight!

At least the Philips 6’ High Speed HDMI Cable w/ Swivel Connector won’t be lonely in there. With as many sets of RCA cables as you’ve collected over the years, it's bound to make a friend or two.
