Looking for, flexible and tough cat 5/6 cable

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?

This one looks serious.

I wonder if you could sleeve a cheap cable in braided Kevlar.

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. :D

Yup, but 40% of the time means 60% of it frying expensive modules in cars in programming lol..

I would say just avoid solid core cable, and don't roll it to tight.
