Please dont bend and pinch your cables. Make a loop as shown in the bottom middle.
Add a piece of string to tie it.
And no zip ties. Zip ties are for attaching cables to other things, and should never be tightened fully.
Velcro ties ftw.
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.
