We’re sure that your home or workplace has dozens, if not hundreds of electrical or data cables. Keeping them coiled up and organized not only looks nice, but it helps the overall longevity of the cable.

The first thing to remember is that cables have a natural coil for them. If you fight them and twist them opposite of their coil, you could also end up twisting the copper wiring, too. After a long period of doing it incorrectly, you could also end up fraying the cable which can be dangerous. A frayed cable means the cable is cut or pinched, exposing the wires. If this happens, you could shock yourself.

Wrapping your cables up neatly can keep them loose and less likely to develop tight spots or knots.
