Ethernet carries only very low voltage and your cable looks beefily shielded. Its fine.

No, if you send too much data it can effectively become a coil gun and shoot your desk leg through the floor/ceiling (depending on if your uploading or downloading).

It’s fine and it looks kinda cool.
PixelCortex
Your data is going to get dizzy.

The electrons could fly out of the cable if the radius is too tight

It will net work until it net won’t.

That’s how you get curly internet

Your downoad speeds will be spiraling out of control, that’s all.

It you accidentally move your table, it will break your cable port..
dankcuddlybear-v2-0
Make sure you remember to unplug it before moving the PC. You don’t want to damage the port.

If the data flows through too quickly they may feel sick and vomit, but otherwise it should be safe 😉
IlikeMinecraft097
nah but google chrome might twist up

Data is gonna keep accelerating and blow up your pc
PressFguys
Very dangerous, your internet might get sick
StomachosusCaelum
This looks fine. And it doesn’t look ugly when looking at it. Great cable management.

Your internets is getting dizzy.

Safe? Sure.
Two things that come to mind:
1. If you have a cat, they MIGHT treat it as a scratching post. Depends on the cat.
2. If you need a long Ethernet cable later on and you try to use this one, it’ll probably want to keep curling up pretty tightly, which can be annoying when you’re handling the cable.
The cat thing is probably the only true concern, but maybe you don’t have one or maybe it won’t care at all about it.

Yes, it helps to add centrifugal force to the data and slings it into your pc faster.
SBriggins
Add some more slack to the top. You want to account for unexpected movement.

I’m Cisco certified, and when cabling, they teach us not to use 90 degrees bends, use correct terminations on the ends, don’t mix erhernet and power in one run, lots of “tips” like that…. never told us not to grap around a pole, so… you are golden ✨️

You’ve created an inductor, and hence, have created a magnetic field which slows down the data stream.

Could potentially make your speeds slower. The network packets get dizzy when traveling through coiled cables like that and end up being received in the wrong order.

Actually this can cause cross talk. Probably not much at this length but coiling a ton can create an issue. I’ve had dropped packets on 100m of coiled cat5e still in the box in the roll where I put an end on both ends. Unspooled it worked fine.

Just leave a little bit of slack and you should be fine.

After a MAX of two weeks you will have to unwrap it and warp it other way around. Otherwise you might create a data whirlpool and it will mess up your internet speed.

Better to make some ring and zip tie them to the pc directly so when you move the case the cable get dragged too… no real induction problem, that cable looks like a stp cable

If you match the rotations of data up the tube with the rotations of your memory disk, you unlock the matrix
MindStalker
If it was much longer it wouldn’t work very well. The past 200 feet you start to get latency issues.
Perix25
Yes, its safe. Personally I would unwind one or two coils just to have some extra cable if I move my table or PC
Frostsorrow
100% you will rip that cord out of your PC. Might not be today, might not be tomorrow, but one day you’ll go to move the desk for some reason and forget about the cord and BAM.
Thick-Ad2454
Its fine but I would suggest having enough slack to pull the pc out if necessary.
MrTigeriffic
Looks good to me only thing I’d do is give the end connector a bit more slack, just in case there is any unexpected movement of the case or table.
lnlywolf
As long as its not a power cord, it’s safe and won’t create a magnetic field around it
