What is the strech ability? My last order somewhere else stretched 6 inches on a 24" cord. Very poor. It was a 1/4" cord. Now I want 5/16"

I've ordered and use 3/16, 1/4, & 5/16, and am beyond happy with all of them. 6" stretch on 24" cord is OK, not bad. You may be expecting more than this is designed to do? Sorry I couldn't help you any more, I am happy with all of these. Ken Hockin, Alvin, Texas

When you say you get 6 inches on a 24" cord, is that a certain weight pull, or to full resistance, or to breaking point. I don't know about mine, never tested it. But the stretch seemed appropriate for the size of the cord. I have used it in awning tie-downs, tent tie-downs, and re-stringing a zero-gravity chair. All worked well.

I have found that the diamond braid from sgt knot stretches about 100% of it's length and then back to original length. I like this product.

Hi Gary, I honestly haven't taken a tape to it but I'd say on the project I used it for maybe 3-4" Sorry for the vague answer just wasn't concerned with how much it stretched on the particular project I had. Hope this helps.

It's coiled like a land line phone hand set cord but will stretch greater than 6 feet. I enjoy mine very much,

Sorry I haven't answered sooner. I have been on vacation. I checked today and it will staple in 1/4 inch. I hope this is helpful to you!

I saw someone put less than 3 ft. Absolutely wrong. it's at least 6 feet. without knowing the exact measurement I am about 5'10" and i held this cord up to me and from plug to tin tips it was longer than me.

the cord with the coil is about 24 inches and stretched out, it is about 48 inches long. The cord is about 24 inches long and streched out it is about 48 inches long. I hope this helps. JOE

I have a roll of this wire. When put up next to a tape measure, it looks to be about as close to 1/16" as possible (about 1.5 millimeters). David VA

It's a coil cord about 2.5 feet when coiled, and will stretch out to about 5 feet or a little more.

24 inches or so. The same length of original mike cord. Will stretch to maybe 4 feet at most.

Lisa, I didn't ask what the paracord diameter was, I asked if I should double check the 100' measurement of my order, as several people have come up 7-10 feet short on their 100' orders. But thanks for the info, I appreciate it! JT.

At 14 feet of cord extension there is a yellow caution tape indicating you are close to the end. I have pulled the cord 6" past that yellow line. Since the cord is "auto rewind" I have not desired or attempted to pull the cord out further.

I wouldn't attempt to stretch this from the 1' coiled length to the claimed 4'. It was too taut. Only between my hands would I attempt to pull on it that much, but not plugged in to a USB port!

Thanks, it seems as though Amazon.com is selling the same item in nominal three- and four-foot lengths with no distinction in the listing. Seems to be a crap-shoot regarding what length cable one might receive, no?

I can't say for sure that you will, only the folks who fill your order at Amazon can answer that. However, when I placed my order for this cord, I got exactly what I ordered. Needless to say, if you don't get what you ordered, return it. Good luck with your purchase.

Unstretched, only about 18 inches. But replacement modular coil cords are available anywhere phone accessories are sold.

It depends on who you buy the cable from. The real product (sold by RiteAV) is 24awg. I had initially bought this product from another reseller, and returned it. That product was very thin and easily bendable. I suspect it was 26awg - still within spec - but not the same product. The cable sold from RiteAV says right on it that it's 24awg.

The cord is approximately 30" in length (without "pulling" on the coil). If you "pull" to extend the cord, it will stretch to a "comfortable" length of 45".

I just tried the large size with a 10ft Amazon Basics USB, and it didn't come close to coiling it all. The cord on the cable is pretty thick, so I'm sure that was part of the problem. It might work for a 6ft cable if it's thin (like an OEM iPad cable).
