I see. You may be also interested in “magnetic quick release USB
cables”. They are held together at one part by a magnet. A strong pull
(accidental or otherwise) will disconnect it, and thus it is supposed to
be less dangerous for the user and the equipment. I have never seen any
such in my life, but I know they exist.
