does the cable stiff enough to hold a shape or is it just like regular cable? ie, the picture shows its coiling can it hold that shape on its own?

No, the cable is not stiff at all. The flat shape of the cable was a selling point for me since the shape resists tangling and tying into knots.

No, the cable is not stiff enough to hold a shape and will not hold a coiling the shape on its own as shown in the picture. It is rubber, not wire. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure I can answer that question properly, but I will give it a try. Although it is thinner than other cables I have used, when I fished it up the wall to the TV port, I was not at all hesitant to pull on the cord when it snagged in the wall. It pulled through without a problem. Additionally, it felt really well built and solid .

The cable is very flexible. It looks like about 3/16" in diameter. I have had no problems with my cable.

Yeah it stays in place and holds it's shape the cable is jointed you won't have any problem with that

I actually used this wire to replace a section down by the creek that was continually getting broken by debris and deer running through. It's been a couple months since the replacement and I have not had any breaks. I really like the heavy quality of the wire. To your question though, I didn't replace the part where the wire twists around itself out to the perimeter so I can't speak definitively to that. I am not an authority but I imagine it would be the same. Good Luck!

The cable is slightly rigid so it somewhat holds it's shape. And when I place the lid down on the crock pot it lays on the cable keeping it in position.

If you understand that extension cords, like other forms of wire, as well as hoses, are manufactured in "coils", and like to return to their natural state when storing you'll be OK. You just have to let them naturally coil, as you wind it up. It will involve a little twisting by you, to get the wire to neatly coil, but it's not a big deal at all.

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.

Yes it does bend and hold in any position you put it in. That's one of my favorite features. The neck is enclosed with a squarish ribbed black plastic (kind of reminds me of a ribbed bendable conduit, but square instead of round). I personally love my lamp and how bright it is. I have Retinitis Pigmentosa, that means if there's no light, there's no vision! Super bright and great for reading and looking at fine detail.

I've only used it straight. I expect you would have to go slow to preserve a shape over a lot of cuts because the wire is just that- not very rigid!

Indeed. The cable is not detachable similar to the original. The cable also feels a bit stiffer as well.

I haven't had any connection problems since I got the cable, and I've had it for about 4 months now. The only thing is it will slightly bend into a new shape (not a straight line) over time if it is left in that position, but that's to be expected from most cables. It has a flat cable that is a lot sturdier than a normal Apple one and doesn't look like it'll break anytime soon. Hope that answers your question.

Hard to remember, but I think it was coiled up pretty tight, maybe as small as 2' x 2' but quite heavy with 60' of cable, etc. I could be quite wrong.

It is stranded wire so it has some degree of flexibility. Do not kink or make sharp bends with it and expect it not to break.
1344834
No, the wire is fairly stiff. I suppose you might be able to bend it with some force but it might break.

hi- for mine, even though cable was thin(ish), my dog still thought it was too heavy and didn't move... would not recommend.Hope this helps.

It is "a little flexible within limits dictated by a pre-formed shape", you wouldn't be able to tie knots w/ the cord or fold it in half. It's somewhat flexible though.
