Item description is a bit misleading.......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.

Retractable CAT5E Ethernet Cable .......2005-12-02

I bought this over a year ago to cut down on the tangled mess of my thick ethernet cable (which was always under foot) I just love it!! I just plugged it in to my cable modem and pulled it out about 12" and plugged it into my laptop Its great! The cable is thin and light and no more mwss. I only wish it could be longer so I could take my laptop into the living room.

It's only a 10/100 linq.......2005-08-16

The J&R Electronics/Amazon description correctly states that it is only a 10/100Mb/s cable but the packaging does not specify that.

The Cat5e, 350MHz specs may lead you to believe that it may work on for a 1000Mb/s connection. It didn't for me. My switch and integrated NIC only negotiated a 100Mb/s connection when a regular Cat5e patch cable allows 1000Mb/s.

The housing was surprisingly thick at almost 3/4 of an inch. The winding mechanism has several stops so you don't have to fully extract the cable.
