@hognoxious Especially in the film industry, it seems unprofessional. Cables have something called cable memory, which means if a cable is twisted wrongly it will cause interference when recording sound later on and may shorten the life of the cable, which means for the production companies it is more expensive.

Great video!! Here's a trick based on the idea that it's about 3' from your fingertip to your nose: For really long cables, you can make about 3' loops by pulling far enough to extend one arm, while holding the loops at your chest. And make 6' loops extending both arms completely each time you loop. This is mostly helpful for giant extension cables that must be hung on a hook that seems too small. Less loops, made larger, will hang easier.

Velcro ties are convenient. Especially the kind that have eye-slots on one end. This way the tie can be attached to one end of the cable and won't get lost when it's uncoiled. You can also get releasable zip-ties so you don't need to cut them apart when uncoiling the cable.

hey guess what, I've been struggling and struggling with that over-under wishy washy stuff, never able to properly get it right, I try your 2nd technique, grasp what it comes down to in 3 attempts, and immediately end up with a perfectly rolled cable, in a fraction of the time. It's not only easier, its faster, more efficient, and feels a lot more natural! My audio jacks even consistently end up just past each other, perfectly fitting my hand in between.

Of course man, I was referring to the user who didn't believe that Ethernet cable coils might downgrade Internet bandwidth performance. Network engineers/technicians are aware of this :-) Coils also act as antennae, especially when high-frequency switching occurs (neon lights, cellphones, etc.), but that doesn't happen with the long shielded cables your video is supposed to be about :-) Anyway, amazing tutorial dude, I have to practice a lot with your coiling methods ;-)

I find it also helps to lay several cables next to each other, in a bundle. This will allow more bandwidth through, as the signal will jump from cable to cable as it travels.

Usually the problem with networking cables is attenuation is caused by cables that have been mishandled or wound too tightly. The pairs of wires inside are twisted together at different rates. When a kink or tight wind is introduced to the cable, the twrist gets screwed up and your cable is more susceptible to EMI. The end effect of this is data has to get re-sent multiple times because it might not transmit properly. Coiling your ethernet cables will produce similar results due to EMI.
