Rolling Cables Properly
One of my long time pet peeves is those who don’t roll cables properly. Rolling your cables properly not only makes them look good and stops them tangling, but it also helps the cable last longer and avoids permanent internal twisting of the copper.
All serious techies (hopefully!) know the under-over technique for rolling cables. However, if you aren’t up to speed on this, YouTube has a great video to explain it:
Now that you’re aware of this, get to work practicing it! Try it on extension leads, mic cables, Cat6 patch leads, guitar leads, IEC power cables, or even the garden hose! (yes, whenever I roll the garden hose, I do use this technique – hey, it works!)
There’s no excuse for you to roll any leads improperly. Don’t let me catch you doing it wrong again.
