I really like this method, but what about fiber cables? Any wisdom on wrapping them?

TV professional here, CRINGING as I watch. You're putting so much tension on these cables. The reason you want big loose loops is so the cables don't bend and warp so they last longer. You unwound that grey cable and it had zigzags in it. They shouldn't retain the shape of your fierce knot. I think you're a monster, Jason, but like you otherwise.

GAHHHHH!

Jason is correct. If you do this to a studios cables they will totally kick you out. Not that anyone is doing anything in a studio in 2020 or 21

Haha I worked for an AV company and my boss used to wrap them almost just like this.

The loop is new, good tip, thanks!
