A 5cm Ethernet cable with working ends is most useful. Long 20 ~30 m Ethernet cable to desk, plugged into computer, laptop so portable, unplugged /plugged in say 4 times per day. snapped end clip. Solution a Ethernet to Ethernet extension plug (3 cm long fixed plastic housing) plugged into LONG cable. Short cable (expendable) plugged into extension plug then into laptop. Replace short cable without under desk/under floor problems on long cable. there are better solutions but I found this one worked.
