How do you bunch a cable?
Break Out the Power Ties You can tidy things up by simply using twist ties or zip ties, magic markers and a roll of masking tape. Separate wires into bundles with between three and six cables—too many in one group increases the chance that you’ll have to cut everything loose next time you want to make a change.

Which wire is more flexible?
Stranded wire is composed of a number of small wires bundled or wrapped together to form a larger conductor. Stranded wire is more flexible than solid wire of the same total cross-sectional area. Stranded wire is used when higher resistance to metal fatigue is required.
Why are wires flexible?
A cable’s flexibility is largely determined by the type of conductor used. Stranded conductors are more flexible compared to solid conductors. The flexibility of stranded conductors over solid conductors is the main reason why any flexible cable is manufactured using stranded conductors.
Why do cables always get tangled?
Imagine having a set of headphones in your pocket. As you walk along the headphone cables get jostled. This movement forms coils in the cable, braids them together and causes the loose ends to weave their way between the loops and strands, very quickly forming knots.
Why do cables twist?
Twisted pairs are made up of two insulated copper wires that are twisted together. The twisting is done to help cancel exterior electromagnetic interference. Crosstalk interference can come from other pairs within a cable.
