As above, I need a 10m long network cable than can withstand repeated coiling/uncoiling and preferably has heavy duty connectors fitted. It will be used to connect my laptop to an icom interface and trailed across a concrete floor as well as being regularly wound into a coil. Standard cables don't seem to last very well under these conditions, as a lot of the long ones are designed for permanent installation.
Suggestions?

Jeez, the price looks serious to lol.. A guy I know has a really flexible rubberised one with metal bodies on the connectors but can't remember where he got it, but reckons it was £15..

You know there’s this thing called wireless now, right? And it works 40% of the time, every time.

I would say just avoid solid core cable, and don't roll it to tight.Ducklakeview wrote: ↑Tue May 15, 2018 11:01 pm As above, I need a 10m long network cable than can withstand repeated coiling/uncoiling and preferably has heavy duty connectors fitted.
