Cable Management 101

Wenger | J.R. Clancy: In the theater world, few offenses are as unforgivable as coiling a cable the wrong way. An improperly wrapped cable twists its internal conductors, shortens its lifespan, and guarantees a mess of knots, kinks, and crackles the next time it’s pulled from the case. Over-under coiling isn’t just a technique- it’s a sign of respect for the gear, the crew, and the show itself.
