Ethernet Cable Winder / Retractable Ethernet

I'm looking for a retractable ethernet cable, such as the ones used for laptops that are about 6' long.  However, this one needs to be about 15-20 feet long.  Is there anything out there for less that $100?  I've seen some that are about $250.  This is going to be used for an IP telephone in a conference room that we don't have to have the cable going across the room.

Well I was also unable to find a cheap solution so here are a couple of other options. I have used flat ethernet cables cables before(purchased at radio shack) and put a rug over the cable run. You could also purchase 2-8ft retractable ethernet cables and but a coupler to put them together. I am not sure how visible this will be but hopefully that helps.

Might wireless, or Ethernet over powerline be feasible?
