Does it seem like this product could be used to retract a thin ethernet cable?

The small version would be ideal for that. The medium and large sizes are more suited to thicker cables.

@ T. Vanlienden... Yes, this is exactly what I use mine for. One must keep in mind however, that this is a USB 2 and therefor the speeds are not going to be like a pure ethernet connection. As long as you're OK with the slower speed, this should work just fine for you. Hope this helps...

Yes, but that's not because of the connector- that's because you're laying a 2000 foot ethernet run. Don't EVER do this. Ethernet cables are not meant to be run that long and over runs of this lengh you will have problems on account of electrical resistance- at best, you'll have packet loss and a spotty connection. At worst, you have an electrical fire. Please, for the safety of everyone in your building, break up those 1000 foot cables into runs of 328 feet or less and connect them with repeaters or switches.

hey Zack! although this tool will strip the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable I never use this. not sure whether you know this or not and pardon me if I'm stating the obvious but you don't strip the individual strands on Cat5 cable. anyway, I use a little yellow cable stripper to "strip" the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable, if you like I can find it for you, it's a simple yellow plastic tool that's around $7 I think. you place the Cat5 cable in the tool, it clamps down and you twist the tool around the cable 2-3 times, works well. I've never used the tripper in the crimping tools, they always cut into the strands too much imo hey Zack! although this tool will strip the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable I never use this. not sure whether you know this or not and pardon me if I'm stating the obvious but you don't strip the individual strands on Cat5 cable. anyway, I use a little yellow cable stripper to "strip" the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable, if you like I can find it for you, it's a simple yellow plastic tool that's around $7 I think. you place the Cat5 cable in the tool, it clamps down and you twist the tool around the cable 2-3 times, works well.

Yes, you can use this to temporarily tighten your zip line cable, however, a proper sized turnbuckle would be advisable for permanent attachment.

I am not sure exactly what you're trying to do with this, but the way the manufacturer put it to me was that this is a USB extension cord, not means to connect USB to Ethernet. It will convert USB to Ethernet so you can use an Ethernet cord to reach where you need it to, then back to USB.

That is why i purchased it, not sure if it was defective, it just worked on one computer and not the other, so i have to move ethernet line to other computer when needed. For the price it may be worth a try.

This is used to connect to ethernet cable so that the device can access the internet. It is not used for your purpose.

If it hooks up the same way the Ethernet does, i.e. Ethernet cable, I don't see why not.

I have no idea if that would work but I have to ask why would you want to do that? Its a very expensive solution to use the multiport adapter ($77 from amazon) to replace a $20.00 Ethernet switch

Ethernet cable in, Ethernet cables out. It's just a switch that switches from one unit to the other. If they're connected by Ethernet cables it should work. I use it to disconnect my computer from the Internet, it works great for that.

No, this adapter is for the purpose of connecting a computer to the internet with a wire. It is intended for those computers that do not have a wired ethernet adapter.

I don't see why not--it's just an Ethernet bridge. Ethernet cable goes in one module, comes out the other one.

I think it probably would, but don't overestimate the size / capacity of this conduit; it is very narrow, and the slit that allows you to put a cord or cable into it is also pretty thin. For example, it's probably suitable for one or two runs of telephone or speaker wire, and would accommodate a single Ethernet computer network cable, but not an extension cord or the like. Hope that helps.

Yes, and I purchased it for that purpose. Be careful when doing custom pc cabling, as you can damage the parts easily if you connect the wrong voltage or short something. Use the correct crimp tools and connectors/pins, refer to your power supply and component pinouts to confirm wire arrangement, and never splice cables.
