How to Wrap Cables and Cords | PremiumBeat.com

[@malintis2882]

This has got to be one of the most unintentionally relaxing videos on youtube.

[@blamm5348]

How with all the wind noise. Dude needs a wind screen

[@charliehinde1701]

I would agree, but you should watch Marco Pierre White's Knorr Stock Pot cooking videos. I could meditate to that shit xD

[@johanndaart7326]

This video is so chill and relaxing. I really appreciate this kind of delivery, in the sea of every person on KZbin trying to be bombastic.

[@TheKingLuna]

1:34 Your'e welcome folks

[@ripsicle8046]

You’re a god among mortals

[@Kotallo_Skyclan]

thank you. I was confused at first lol. I thought it was an ad

[@logano4056]

This was SOOOOOOO cool. I was totally expecting an IT guy but you're a film guy.

[@lj2612]

This is how to make a helpful, easy to learn tutorial video. As many others have commented here, it is a very relaxing and reassuringly effective way to learn. More often than not here at “KZbin University” I find myself more frustrated and unsure of implementing and/or mastering techniques of a just watched how-to video simply from the presentation of the host. You should give seminars on tutorial videos! The How-To How-To Masterclass! Thank you!

In my 30 years of AV work I have over under wrapped about a million cables. There are a couple of details I would like to share here. The tie line, or velcro should be placed only a few inches away from whatever male end you have, especially when the ends are larger ones.But putting the tie line too close to a large ended cable is bad news, the tie line can't get tight, and will surely loosen up! Then size up the last coil (female end) so the ends are facing left and right at the top of the coil. When there is extra cable on the ends they always catch on other cables when pulling out of a pile, or case. My last tip is to do a half knot then bring the tie line around one more time and pull the tie line tight, then tie it up. It takes about 2 seconds longer to un tie, but they almost never loosen up. I'm the guy that won't think twice about re wrapping huge boxes of cable, because I absolutely hate doing installations while people are watching you untangle the stupidly wrapped cables!

[@taj_ninny]

91 cables a day??

[@neilvn]

This is the clearest explanation I have seen.

[@geofftaylor9186]

Excellent advice and very clear. I would add a caution to the 'under/over' technique because uncoiling the wrong end can produce a half hitch every second loop.

[@dfisk79]

This is why I don't do the "over under" technique on any cables. It's much easier just to twist the cable as you wrap it to avoid kinks. You can still properly unroll the cable this way. The over under is also trying to avoid kinks, but is more complicated.

[@TheSheepster]

3:09 SOOOOOOOOOOO Satisfying! (Yes, that many O's cause I can't stop watching this)

[@Deanwrd]

Velcro tie at the male end of the cable is what got me. Thanks.

[@JesusFreakAwesomeness]

Finally a decent tutorial on how to do this......

[@meangreen7389]

Great vid! Thank you for sharing.

[@b19931228]

This would also work with water hose I presume?

[@RibshackRecords]

I'll give this a 95%. In my shop electrical cable is stored over/over in 5' coils with a tie string, but then no one uses it but me and I never have wire issues. Some of my cable is 15 yrs old. My biggest enemy is rubber rot from all the ozone, and cowboy boots in the studio.

[@daniellen2016]

thank you for making a 30 second video into a 5 minute one. i truly applaud your abilities!

[@Sadiquecat]

Thanks, this was the most clear video Iv seen!

[@atlbike]

Ties at male end, good point. I've thought about color coding lengths with resistor color codes, taping the color codes at the male end would make sense. Long small-gauge power on spool-winders, but it's really a two person task to deploy, but fast and lays flat.

[@seanv4735]

I watched this with the Mission Impossible theme. Good stuff.

[@Reclusive_x]

“How its made” vibes!

[@hotice8885]

Is rope able to handle the over and under method, as well--or does it do damage over time?

[@EthyEth]

Its rope... damage is going to occur from use lmao.

[@leesmillarddesign]

Came here to see how to wrap cables and got a surprise when I saw "Caesar: Rise of the Apes" :)

[@emaugustBRDLC]

What is the befit of the underhand step vs. just doing a half turn in the same direction from start to finish?

[@brucejonsson3149]

Each coil in one direction puts a twist in the cable. Over and under puts a twist in one the a twist in the opposite direction that way cable lays flat.

[@michaelhill7774]

Great video thanks!

[@GayleGrantDocGrant]

Why can't you just wrap without the twist if you are going to use velcro at the end anyway..what am I missing here? Thanks

[@andrewstahelin2220]

You Never ever EVER over under a stinger. You would be fired on any larger production. We hate hate hate, people that try to over-under stingers (or singles in NY) or "Extension cords". I promise you, only do over over. For "data cable or audio cable" go for it, over under to your heart's content.

[@thaddeusbarnette1371]

This is the comment I was looking for

[@winterbayuk]

Why not?

[@andrewstahelin2220]

@@winterbayuk how the wiring is designed, it naturally has a clockwise direction. Data cable an audio cable however gives you the ability to go over under given the design of the wiring. If you ever take apart a stinger and you actually look at the copper wiring, you'll notice that. On Union productions in New Mexico in New York, I can't speak for California. That is one of the quickest ways to piss off a rigging electric crew or really any electric crew. Over over also gives you the ability to release the cable in a seamless fashion, whereas over under if you needed to toss the cable or something to that nature, you run into the issue of the cables getting tangled during the toss. It's easy to mess up. Over under over is pretty self-explanatory.

[@justshatmyself5780]

Oh hi Mark

[@luboyanev]

Important stuff, thanks for sharing!

[@Sameir8055]

A very useful video. Thanks.

[@islandboystv]

Ok, Ill start doing this the proper way.

[@ragoonsgg589]

and that my friends, is the best gaffer in town

[@OthmanAlikhan]

Thanks for the video =)

[@Tabula.rasa.abracadavra]

I'm too dumb I keep twisting the audio cables over themselves :'(

[@Clynext]

Lol same

[@bloom_theyellow2491]

Same :,,(

[@Tabula.rasa.abracadavra]

I think o figured out lads, you also have to like twist the coil of cable you are making. Or in other words let the cable naturally twist your hands as you wrap it

[@9uweeoncbmd890]

Thank you very much for this video.

[@Xanderfied]

The cord whisperer.

[@longbeardbobson4710]

Tried this, got a long series of simple knots. It was a pain to untangle all of that.

[@CesarMartinez-br5qu]

Cool beans man👍🏼

[@gateCodeKC]

thanks man! i'll do this next time

[@neilsynth]

Beautiful

[@ic9049]

Anyone know how to wrap flat cord?

[@Divergence]

Why am I watching a guy wrap cables at 3am. 😂

[@Aliafj]

Why over under? What's the point of it?

[@UnluckyDomino]

ALi AL-HADDAD prevent twisting, which over time damages the rubber outer material and the metal wires inside

[@PhotonTheta]

a film, indeed!

[@MMSound-zl4eo]

ВЕК ЖИВИ ВЕК УЧИСЬ.

[@paradoxscientist4733]

No one: Me trying to wind up a usb cable 🤒

[@limefrog2]

2:02, this guy whispering to himself whilst wrapping cables

[@andrewdodgethomas]

Extension cords are supposed to be wrapped over over.

[@LIISOWESTSIDE]

Why does he sound like Dave Chapelle

[@WadeMcLure]

Press "L" on your keyboard to jump ahead 10 seconds at a time... :-)

[@thinkunimog]

Check out these great extension cords from Costco. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2eonJeMhNl5nqs

[@jrc202]

T to hard for me

[@wherethewatermeetstheshade]

Very unhelpful video

[@arthurlove3]

Electric cable should never be over under - over over clockwise only.

[@kevindietick9915]

I have worked many years in theater, including some Broadway. There is only one proper way to wrap a cable of any kind, over and under

[@MaurizioMezzatesta]

Please elaborate.

[@zombiedude347]

Only potential problem I see is unintended inductivity created by the coiling. But that can happen with any coiling method.

[@ACombineSoldier]

@john doe So you don't have to unravel the whole damn thing

[@ACombineSoldier]

@john doe I'm saying over over whilst twisting to insure no tangling. If it is over under you have to unravel entire cord. over over you only unravel what you need.

[@lovehow-6711]

Why is capitalism making me do this. I just want to keep my priced possessions safe

[@tylerlegend7205]

Not even usefukl

[@reviloevil8332]

Is this joke or something idk

[@fish4225]

This video looked but proved to be useless
