...but not the little travel ones where the cable is wound in the middle.

I'm trying to find something where one side is fixed and the cable extends
in one direction only, so it can be mounted in a conference table or on a
wall. I know that Krone made something like this a long time ago, but now I
can't find anything like it.

Thanks!

Check Black Box. www.blackbox.com

I think I could make something out of outdoor clothesline retractors and
install them in the drop ceiling.

But are clothesline retractors CAT5 rated? :)
