It doesn't require any extra material such as Velcro ties or freezer bags. As long as you do it LOOSELY it saves the normal wear and tear--you know, that thing where mic cables routinely go bad about 6 inches from the connector from being TIGHTLY tied?

I hope I've explained this clearly.

It's also very important to know how to properly "roll" your cables, using the over/under technique that stagehands use:

That said, we have some 100' heavy speaker cables that have to be done in halves. shocked
