Rolling up Cables
Rolling up cables and extension cords so they don't tangle...

Slick mnemonic, good technique.

That man is a fucking retard. Any idiot knows you don't wrap wire or rope over the shoulder.
|
What the fuck are you babbling about, he's no where near his shoulder.
|
He makes it look so complicated. I don't need no stinkin' mnmnmnemnomnic to wrap the EHU cable for my Fanny up right!
|
Complicated? It's over-under-over-under. He just does it slowly, so you can see. Plus the part at the beginning where he makes the pile, presumably to check for any existing snarls or knots and release any existing twisting.
|
If it's a power cable, not so critical. Audio cables like a little gentler handling, and it makes sense to care for them cos they are a little more expensive.
|
I learned that technique in junior college, when I took a sound recording course. Once you have it down, you'll never wrap a cord any other way.

As I understand it, it's not just to protect the cables, but also to prevent the coil from having the same direction of twist the whole way. That way, you can throw it across the stage, and it will lay flat, rather than looking like a stretched slinky.

Just like coiling a heaving line.

I have to admit that I have a power cable that is all fucked up because of years of me rolling it up wrong. I've known the correct method of doing it for a few years now, but the damage was already done. It's this power cable rated for cold temperatures by having a thin insulation, and you can feel the individual conductors on the inside all twisted up the wrong way. I can't really bear to throw it away, because it still works, but it's all twisted and nasty looking and can't be wound up properly anymore using any technique.
