Theres a picture of it in the latest AquaCorps. It looks to me like one 
more thing to get hung up on stuff, not very hogarthian. I suppose what 
you could do is to point the cable down so it runs between your tanks, 
then you can manipulate it by reaching to the bottom of your tanks. If 
you point it up it either stick way up in the air (the cable appears to 
be quite rigid) or hit you squarely in the back of the head. The picture 
shows it coming off of a tank valve (no frigging way, dude) rather than 
off the isolator, so all this is assuming you can use it with the 
isolator valve.

They also show a metal "low friction cave knob" for a valve, which will 
no doubt cause lots of controversy here on tech diver. I can't wait. Also 
shown is a OMS "cold water nitrox ready" regulator. The first stage 
appears to be a cross between a mk.10 and a diaphragm type. Other new 
stuff includes (watch out DiveRite!) a std. type wreck reel and tech 
light with a politically correct cylindrical battery housing.
