My tip for trouble-free cable management: Never wind the cable. Always fold it. Always. Whether its a rope, a cable, whatever: every time you wind it, you twist the fibers.

Instead, grab both ends, hold them together, untangle and pull the two sides together .. find the new ends, combine them, fold, over and over .. until you get a nice tidy package.

This treats the cable much nicer - its built for expanding in the combined loops, but when you wind .. and wind .. and wind .. you twist the fibers. Fold, don't twist!
