Anyone have one of these? Is it useful? How has it held up?

Never had one, but can’t do very much with a 25 foot cable.

Depending on the price I would get one.

25 feet of cable with connectors costs me $2.50

I'd guess for temporary connections, testing, like that. I would just use a length of terminated cable and secure it with velcro for storage.

“Portable” satellite dish, I mainly use for tailgating . The cable is a pain. I ended up just getting a bracket to wrap it around, like one uses for an extension cord or Christmas lights. Makes things a little neater.

I wish coaxial Cable was more flexible

I got RG59 mini coax.

Very flexable and will work for a small 25 foot run.

I would put the power inserted before it on a SWM system
