Cable Matters 2-Pack Retractable Ethernet Cable 3ft (Retractable Cat 5e Cable, Retractable Cat 5 Ethernet Cable, Cat5e Cable) Supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet

I purchased this product to connect my travel router to the Internet via an Ethernet port found in must hotel rooms while traveling. The compact design is nice and hardly noticeable in my computer bag. Easily expands up to 3 feet or any desired length less than 3 feet, recoil is smooth and simple. The flat design of the cable never tangled and is easy to manage. Connection speed is consistent and FAST due to the Gigabit technology coupled with the gold plated connectors on both ends. I use my travel router to create a secure personal Wifi network by connecting this product directly into the hotel's Ethernet port and the other end to my travel router. Wifi speed is lightning fast and reliable, but as usual the Internet speed ultimately depends on the hotel's the network I am connected to. I couldn't be more satisfied with this product. Now all I have to is not leave it in a hotel room because of its small compact design!!

For work I need ethernet cables to connect on jobsites, i hated having a 5ft roll, uncoiling and recoiling. recrimping ends because the cable got kinked here or there. THESE make it easy. they aren't 5ft, but i make it work and it saves on space in the laptop backpack. bought 3 sets!

This product offers great organization in your tool bag/ laptop satchel. Whether connecting to an electrical converter or to the WiFi this spool is more than capable. The only downside to this spool is that it may be challenging to spool up after use. STILL WORTH THE MONEY!!!

love these

I love my MBP but hate the fact that the only ports on it are USB-C. I wanted to hook it up to ethernet and was looking for a simple, compact way to do it. This retractable ethernet cable fit the bill. When paired with a EUASOO USB-C hub it was simple. Not to mention the portability factor. The cable and the hub both fit into the cloth bag provided with the hub.

I was looking for a retractable Ethernet cable so that it wasn’t just sitting in my bag unwound. These cables have been working great the past few weeks on travel!

Great for travel and packing this item is a snap.

The items were for a constant use application where I needed it to be retracted constantly to keep the wire out of the way and keep it from dangling. It was okay for use, but I quickly realized it didn’t have enough retraction spring tension. It now won’t retract all the way after 2 months of use. It was exactly what I needed, just too bad it’s quality wasn’t up to the task I needed it for.
