ViewDo: How to Wrap Cable for Easy Unraveling

[jonmmadison]

need to do this a little more slow motion homie

[20RoyalSuperKing]

and the last bit would be to plug the end together. I wrap my leads up a different way btw.

That's one way to do it, but on your cross-over loop you're going around the outside. This achieves the over-under effect, but it's much more difficult than if you cross inside instead of wrapping around.

Check out the video called "How to Wrap a Video Cable Properly!" for a visual explanation of what I'm talking about.

Thanks!

ugh, this clip is worthless! what the hell is a "simple loop" how is that different than a "crossover loop"? your hand is off camera when you do it and i can't tell what the hell you are doing.

Post just the word "show" if you're a fag...

AC extension cords are probably the worst kind of cable to coil, they're notorious for being obstinate.

The biggest thing to remember is to not let either end pass through the middle of the loops, that'll cause little overhand knots.

dude great video but i cant see your hand!! i think thats key to this technique

[MichaelJE2]

Yup, known where I work as the "over-under"

[DollarDollarBillYa]

This is retarded. My two year old knows how to do this

[harvestarr]

i am using similar technique, but i am not changing regular/crossover loop in regular 50:50 ratio, but i am trying to "listen" to the cable instead. if you are wraping your cable carefully, you should recognize tension of cable so you can know if cable "wants" regular or crossover loop...

[technonerd0110]

@harvestarr The reason you do this kind of wrapping (over/under) is not because it's what the cable "wants", but because it prevents any bends in the cable. If you look, you're not putting any bends or twists in the cable when you use this technique.This helps give your cable a longer life, and also makes it lay flat when you uncoil it. Additionally, when you do this, it will learn to no longer "want" certain bends.

[breathesrain]

@harvestarr If you twist the cable itself (rotate along its own axis) then you can change the tension so you always alternate and the cable isn't strained backwards :)

thanks! very informative.

[yippeekiya]

i usually tie a knot too when done with looping so i can store them with other cables :)

[InZdust]

Great tip. I didn't realize about the crossover loop. I've always done it with the same type of loop every time. Gonna try this next time I have a long length of cable to wrap up. Thanks again.

Thumbs down to all the youtube flamers. I hate 'em! Don't they have better things to do?
