5.0 out of 5 stars
geeky cool
...and very useful! Great for hooking up your laptop when you're on the road, and zips up with not tangles or knots. Also great for techs to carry in their pockets - you never know when someone is going to need a CAT5 (Ethernet) cable for a presentation... and you will save the day!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Short and broken
The retractable mechanism works well and the cable is compact, but this cable is pretty much useless as a travel CAT5 cable. First of all it's too short. In about half of the hotels where I needed to use it, the network jack was at least a couple of feet further away than the reach of this cable. Second (and more importantly) it's not robust...

The retractable mechanism works well and the cable is compact, but this cable is pretty much useless as a travel CAT5 cable.
First of all it's too short. In about half of the hotels where I needed to use it, the network jack was at least a couple of feet further away than the reach of this cable. Second (and more importantly) it's not robust enough. After a year or so of light use a wire inside got broken somehow, and today I had to go in search of a regular CAT5 cable. On the outside there seems to be no damage to the wire. In short, it's one of those purchases that I regret enough to write a negative review. |
