Pros: Very small and light in wheight when it is retracted.It is very easy to roll again and put away at your laptop handbag.It takes up only a little portion of the space needed for a normal Ethernet Cable at your handbag.
Cons: When you stretch it, the cable keeps getting coiled (in the air, not at the furling).
Other Thoughts: 1.5 mts is normally more than enough for any Desktop use.
Bottomline: This Network Retractable Cable is a MUST-HAVE for any user carries a Laptop.I really love it, I don't have to carry an Ethernet cable anymore.
Pros: It's small, easy to take, works perfectly at 100 Mbit (I don't know about Gigabit since I didn't try it yet). Nice to have one in your car and laptop bag so you always have an UTP cable near :-)
Cons: build quality on longer therms of usage is questionable as mentioned before.it feels kind of weakthe cable itself is really thin
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: If you're in need of networkcable from time to time, get this. It's clever and handy. I used to carry around a networkcable in my computerbag in case I came to place that didn't offer wireless, but it could get a bit messy since I didn't really bother tangling it up neatly, but just crammed it down there. Now it's not an issue anymore :)
Pros: -Cheap-Very useful for having in backpack at work or school-Compact-Works like a network cable should work
Cons: -Build quality could be better-Could be longer?
Other Thoughts: I use it when I'm at university and there is no wireless signal, but ethernet ports are available. For people who want a longer cable, I guess you can get multiple retractable cables and also the network cable extender things that deal extreme also has.Also, try not to use the cable at full stretch. The build quality (on mine) couldn't handle it and gets stuck sometimes.
Bottomline: You should buy this if you take your laptop around with you a lot and need wired network access. It's compact so you don't need to worry about it taking up too much space.
Pros: Well ofcourse if the product worked this would be marvelous. Not that it is revolutionary by any means, but it would really do the trick for me. I hate cables lying around.
Cons: ...But since the two cables i have purchased (not at the same time) have not worked properly. The connection drops all the time with these cables unfortunately.
Other Thoughts: Maybe i have just been unlucky. I will still order another cable or two because i still need it...
Bottomline: Crappy quality and a very cheap product. You get what you pay for...
