Is this cable difficult to straighten out; does it "want" to stay coiled?

if you held it taunt it would stay straight but it naturally wants to return to a curved postion. a very good item thiugh. i use it in my garage for the bikes and lawn mower.

It's basically a straight cable, not like the coiler cables that snap back to a coil when released. It's a good heavy cable with a good coating on it to protect things you put it on. George

Mine seems to prefer remaining coiled, but it doesn't bother anything. In fact, I like the coiled condition because I can hang it over my handlebars when it's not in use.

not if you mean turning the cable. That's normal because it gives the full turn to when we use the iron cable not have to twist and turn it, especially when we do some curls with the iron. I hope my answer serves you.

No. This cable does not have that stiffer sleeve to help "mold" the curve in the cable over the ears however I've not had any problems with them staying in place. I did recently have a problem with the wire sleeve behind one ear breaking open. I sent it in to Shure and got the whole thing replaced. I personally think that the cord on this accessory should have had the same treatment as the stock cord, e.g. with the extra support on the cable behind the ears.

on this case the cable actually comes out at the middle, and is fairly long, so you shouldn't have any issues with that. my USB port is on the right also, and everything has plenty of reach.

I haven't run into any flexibility problems with this cable. The only problem I run into with cables of this type is the connector is too large to fit into some USB ports. This cable has not had that problem so far.

yes, it does what it's supposed to do. I haven't had a problem with mine and its not a bad price for the cable too! shipping is another story..

as long as the flexible part of the cable is, you should be ok. Mine is at a pretty hard left turn and it's been doing good for about two years now.

Not coiled. It's straight wire. I think it's about 12" in length as I recall.

it turns 360 degrees and pivots 45 degrees, the cat5 cable will just spin around inside the neck so obviously you don't want to spin it around multiple full turns while the cable is connected but yeah lol.

Yes, maybe a bit stiffer. It wasnt easy to straighten the wire out due to its stiffness.

Mine does the same thing, I ordered another one so I can try to bend it to see if that will straighten it out. It's normal

It sticks out a little far, but no farther than I think most cables would. The thing that really ended up destroying mine, though (or at least I think), is that its a really stiff cable, and after moving it around a lot in my car it eventually just stopped working (due to what I assume was its stiffness).

Yes it does straighten out. There is now just a very slight bend, and I probably am the only one who notices.

It was coiled when I received it (for packaging), but has straightened out. I like the length and its apparent sturdiness.

Mine does not get twisted at all. Now my old one did but this one does not. Hope that helps.

Boltar: Good question. Unfortunately the answer is no. At present, the product will pull the cable in until it bottoms out, and doesn't have a part-way stop. (I've had times when I wanted my cord part way out, and I've found that a small binder clip is an effective, though not elegant solution.)

yes,Its not a straight one, its curls. I replaced it with on from radio shack for $6.00
