Item description is a bit misleading [Posted on 2007-01-04]
When I read the description for this item, I thought it extended 59 inches. It does not. Only extends about 3 feet in length, so I returned.
Cat 6e retractable Ethernet Cable [Posted on 2007-10-18]
Perfect for my job as a tech. I always have it handy, and it fits in my purse, and cable pouch. Its retractable keeps me from damaging it, and it takes the abuse. Good product.
average [Posted on 2008-01-18]
Unfortunately, one of the cables I purchased has already broken. That is why I bought two I guess. It is a good product in theory - but the plastic on the connectors is too thin - I anticipate the second one to fail. I recommend going with a higher quality short cable for travel.
Not as good as a $5 fishing reel [Posted on 2008-04-30]
This cable reel suffers from binding and jamming if you do not carefully extend both ends at the same time. On retraction it will jam the majority of time it is difficult to execute a simultaneous retraction of both end, thus one side of the reel will bind (we fisherman call that a backlash).
I connected this cable to 5 different devices, 3 computers (2 Dell, 1 Mac) and 2 printers (Brother and Canon). Four of the devices rejected the connection despite my reconnecting several times. This has been referred to in other submissions.
In summary, this is a good idea poorly executed, I definitely would not travel with this thing. Save your money, look elsewhere.
Convenient but not road-hardened [Posted on 2008-08-01]
Very convenient to keep in your travel kit for those just-in-case events where only wired ethernet is available or hotel staff can't figure out why the wireless doesn't work. The vendor should get a clue that a road warrior oriented item like this has to be of more durable build. I've gone through several -- either the ratchet breaks, or one of the connectors goes wonky, or something else. Five stars for concept and convenience and one star for durability averages out to three stars.
