A molecular cage based [2]rotaxane is reported in which the linear thread component can be elongated and contracted in a stepwise manner, mimicking a two‐stage retractable cable that can be operated in both push‐button (free‐selection) and rotary (continuous‐change) modes, depending on the choice of reagents.
