RIIEYOCA Cat5e Ethernet Coiled Cable - Retractable RJ45 Network LAN Cable for Laptops, Desktop, Routers, Set-top Boxes - Stretchable to 1.5M

I've been using this for a few months and have had no issues. Good value. Easy to use. Seems will made.

Right out of the bag, the cable failed to work on Ethernet. The plugs were way to loose in Ethernet jacks. Jiggling the plugs would get a temporary but slow connection.I thought I might be able salvage the cable by cutting off the loosey goosey connectors and putting my own on but, when I cut off one endoff one end and stripped off the jacket, the wires were not twisted pairs. This is NOT an Ethernet cable! This makes me wonder about the veracity of all the positive reviews.It's a pity I can't use it because this is the best coiled cable I've seen in a long time; it fully springs back every time it gets stretched out.

I have a Berkliner Massage Chair and the OEM controller is wired to chair with a coiled cable that had started to break down, horribly. Literally, the rubber coating on cable was simply flaking off, exposing all the wires inside. Not to mention the mess of little flakes of pieces of hardened rubber all over... Turns out the controller cable plugs in underneath the chair using a RJ45 plug like CAT5 cables use. However, the OEM cable has a 24" non-coiled leader. An exhaustive search of InterWeb found no replacements available for this Berkliner Chair controller and nowhere could I find a coiled cable with a 24" leader to RJ45 connector, so I bought this Coiled Cable along with a 24" CAT5 extender cable. Cut off one end of the coiled cable and stripped back to expose wires for connection to the actual hand controller. Had to carefully coordinate wire colors as they were different, but was able to get new coiled cable successfully solder to controller board. Also salvaged the original strain relief and got controller functional. Added the 24" CAT5 extension cable from the electronics under the chair out to the side pocket where the hand controller is stored and plugged it in there. All Good! Works perfectly and my Shiatsu Massage chair is back in business, kneading my back muscles to perfection... Ahhhhhhh....

This is a good quality cable but it’s NOT suitable for Ethernet traffic. This listing should be changed to 8 conductor cable, but not for Ethernet.

It would be nice if it was a bit more flexible. Too dificult to stretch out

Working great.

IT COULD BE THE CABLE OR THE DEVICE. BUT IT WORKS, IT JUST NOT A STEADY CONNNECTION FOR SOME REASON.

If you feel comfortable clipping off 1 end and re-arranging the wires in a reverse pattern then crimping on a new plug, this product will work for that purpose. I used this to replace the OEM cord that had heat-rot on my Meade LX Autostar telescope mount.
