[Tfug] Network cord "swivelers" (for want of a better word)

Hi,

I've been using a tablet pc of late for evaluation purposes.
When tethered to the network, the network cable sees a fair
bit of abuse -- esp at the connector/connection.

For a workstation, this is never an issue because you don't
wave the workstation around in the air while using it!  :>

Phones used to have a "swivel adapter" (optional) that would
effectively allow you to do a dance with the handset and
keep the cord from getting tangled or twisted.

Of course, this is relatively easy to implement with low
frequency/fidelity audio and just *two* conductors!  You'd
never *hear* any noise injected into the signal(s).

Is there anything similar that I can use for a *network*
connection (short of wireless)?  Or, must I be resigned to
"fastening" a service loop to the back of the tablet (to
take the strain off the connector) and then come up with
a way to easily remove that "fastening" when I want to
disconnect the cable?

Thx!
