How to Properly Wrap a Cable (the Over and Under Roadie Wrap)
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008I learned this a few years ago from my boss Mitch who required us to wrap cables this way. I thought it was a pain at first but as I realized I almost never had hangups, knots, or bumpy cables I really learned to value this technique. Try it out wrapping everything from audio cables to power cords. It’s a standard for me now and it’s now I teach my techies how to wrap cables.
Notice in the video that he unwinds the cable effortlessly and never has a kink or even a twist.
I love kink-free cables!
Anybody here gonna back my up on how well this works for the ones who don’t buy it yet? Leave a comment.
Hat-tip to Anthony Coppedge for the tip on this video.

Yea Preacher showed me this a couple years back as well. I try to spread the knowledge on this one – don’t want to get too kinky now, do we?

Learned this way back in Middle School. Can’t attest to how important this is! Saves you time, headaches and yes, even money!
