I have a length of about 20m of CAT5 cable which is only sometimes used to plug into a laptop across the other side of the room but the rest of the time it sits there in a big messy snagged up pile of cable.

Is there any sort of cable holder sort of along the lines of an electrical extension lead which can quickly wind the cable in to keep it neat when its not being used but let it out again when i want to use it?

I have one but its only 10m long, can't remember where I got it from. Cheapest way is a couple of cable ties and a couple of minutes coiling.

B&Q should do empty cable frames for winding extension leads around. I've not seen any of the retracting leads go that long.

Would be nice to be proved wrong though - could replace some of the spaghetti in my laptop bag
