Ownership verified by DX Excellent for portable devices / small room

Pros: -It's retractable. Meaning that if you don't need the full length, you won't have it anyway
-Works surprisingly well in my situation (would've assumed the cable would wear and tear after a while).

Cons: -Build quality is not too good to the touch. Having said that, mine (2x) still work.
-It's a bit more expensive than I would give it credit for. I can imagine these selling heaps for $1.25.

Other Thoughts: If you sometimes have friends come over with their networkable devices (i.e. laptop) and want to have them share your cabled network through a router or switch, pick up several of these and hook them up to the switch permanently. That way, when someone comes along, you'd just have to pull one end of the cable and put it in the device. And when you're done, just give it a tug and the cable will retract.

Bottomline: Easy operable and saves hassle with multiple devices and cables tangling up.

Pros: Everyone who owns a notebook knows that wifi it's non used as LAN in the office so you will always need a cable. the regular lan cable are always big and they do not fit into laptop bag, so this flat cable it's perfect for emergency!

Cons: it's very small and the plastic it's solid. i bought 5 of this and i'm still use the first. the cable it's flat and it very long, the equivalent lan cable would have been very very long.

Other Thoughts: it's optimal for business trip or for complete replacemente of the regular lan cable.

Bottomline: if you use a laptop this is a must have

Pros: Very, very clever designed cable! As an owner of laptop I know and every other owners know that the LAN cable is aways the problem when you go on the business trip. The regular LAN cable is aways big, hard cable that "creates" uncomfortable felling when you put it in laptop case. This one is solution of all problems.

Cons: Not every cable has good quality. For example the first received, that I ordered as sample, was assembled wrong. So I looked at one that works, from one friend of mine, and I assemble it on right way. But the feelings that the first one is broken was very bad :-) But with next ordered I had no problems. So I think it is rare case.

Other Thoughts: 1. Small and compact.
2. Works very well.

Bottomline: I thing that everyone who goes to the business trip must have one of those.

Pros: It is a simple little thing. Whenever you need a network cable, this thing can do the work for you. Using it for laptops is a great thing. You don't need to drag a heavy long cable with you. Just use this thing instead.

Cons: Today the Bluetooth connectivity replaces the need for such cables. Even WiFi network or similar.
It's nice to use on laptops and similar temp connections. I wouldn't have used it as a perm. (eventhough it can operate as a constant cable.)

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: Cute little thing. It does what it needs to do.
