Look up the over/under method miroslav is talking about. You're going to end up replacing a lot of cables in the long run if you do it the elbow way. All that twisting breaks connections after a while.I wrap em around hand/elbow, and use velcro to tie all the cables that are the same type together.. Then they go in milk crates and on the bottom shelf of a big shelving unit.
Nope, it's for all cables. It's more of a pain with longer ones. It doesn't take me any longer to do it the proper way than the bad way, so I don't see why I would wreck my cables to do it the bad way.Yeah, actually I do konw the over/under thing from my local crew work. The cables I have out stay out, the ones that are in storage stay there. I dont move a lot of cables in and out of storage, I never really put many cables away.... I thought that method was mostly for super long cables like 100' etc, cuz it'd be impossible to get it out untangled if you didnt over/under it.
