    tie the cable into a knot, it’s the fastest and least damaging way to store cables

      If we are taking a gentle loop, sure. But if you mean (and I’ve seen this BTW) tying like a pair of shoes and pulling it tight, I’d kick you out of my IDF.

      Not saying thats what you were thinking, just had to share my memory of that pain.

      I still prefer a bit of waxed thread though. Great for any cable, be it utp, f/utp, armored, fiber, coax, whatever. But that’s also how I started, so it probably plays a role in why I like it.

      Edit: plus a string makes a nice and neat way to hang it on a hook.
