If you are like me and have far too many cables of various sorts lying around, copulating like snakes, you can never find the one you need, try this:
Before you stuff that cable in the back of a drawer, first fold it in half (so the two ends are together, so you can see what kind of cable it is). Then spread your left hand and wind the (doubled) cable around it in a figure 8 pattern (not round and round). Then put a rubber band around it. The figure 8 procedure insures that not only will the wires not twist internally, but when you release the rubber band the cable will unroll without tangling!
With long cables, do the figure 8 around hand and elbow.
