Do you know if your cable is made of stranded wires or solid wires? The solid wire is cheaper than the stranded, so I wouldn't be surprised to find that someone made patch cables out of solid, but patch cables really should use stranded for exactly the reason under discussion. It's more flexible and less likely to break internally with a lot of flexing. I would look around for a patch cable made of stranded wire in a local store (may be hard to find someone who knows what type they sell) and see if it seems more flexible than your cable.
