What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

Excellent quality-price ratio

Overall Rating:

Pros: Very portable and a lot more convenient that carying a 3ft cable on a notebook bag
Build of the "yo-yo" seems very sturdy as well as the connectors
 
Cons: None so far... cable is very very slim but then again... that is the whole purpouse of it
 
Other Thoughts: Excellent purchase if you are not a fan of Wi-Fi or if you are in dire need of quick and on-the-spot connectivity
 
Bottomline: BUY IT! At least in Argentina although you might get more cable lenght if you buy the normal size is extremely annoying to carry (of course)

Very good cable

Overall Rating:

Pros: - Very compact when winded up
- Good quality of all materials (incluiding cable, holder and connectors)
- Can be extended in stages, so you can determine the length of cable you need
 
Cons: - When extended (specially at full length)and there is no tension on the cable, both ends of the cable tend to curl up (similar position as when inside the holder I mean), leading you to have to "fight" the cable to keep itself extended
- Looks a little fragile, speacially when winding it up
 
Other Thoughts: All connectors worked as expected (all pins do conduct, I tested it with a network cable tester).
You need to be very careful when putting it away, since the cable gets stuck.
 
Bottomline: If you move around and need to save space, just get it, you cannot go wrong with it
 
					

Great Cable

Pros: Great Cable.
Works perfectly and its very compact when the cable is retracted.
Great to carry on to anywhere.
Very well done and flexible.
It retracts completely to a very compact size
 
Cons: The cable could be a little longer.
A small rubber protection on the connector would avoit it to "hook up" on other wires in cables.
The cable seems a little fragile, but its working fine until now.
 
Other Thoughts: Portable and light.
Great item to have on any survival pack. I bought two and I always carry them in trips, just in case I dont have a Wi-fi connection available and only ethernet plugs available.
 
Bottomline: Recommended.
Cheap, Small, Good design and Usefull.

Pros: small formfactor and lightweightness make it a must, esp. when you must have all these cables/adaptors with you and you have to carry them all around with your laptop. No Wifi in your hotel? Use THIS. It survived many trips of mine, so I can fully recommend it.
 
Cons: One has to be careful when retracting it.
 
Other Thoughts: Delicate construction of the cable itself (a foil-like cable) requires patience during winding it back on the spool. Be patient...
 
Bottomline: Buy it if you travel a lot, youl'll never know when it becomes VERY handy...
