You know how this story 'ends'. You take the time to properly wrap your cables.  Yet, when remove the velcro, tape, or whatever you use, and throw out the cable across the stage, you often have a tangled and knotted mess that looks like spaghetti.

Your Cable Porter keeps the two ends of the cables separated, preventing them from passing through the coils or loops. The result is a knot-free and untangled cable, ready to use.   When you're done coiling the cable, you're done!  No need to look for something to secure the cable, because its already secured.

How to Properly Wrap a Cable
A properly wrapped cable will be done with the 'over/under' method, to ensure that the cable will lay flat on the floor, and not become tangled or knotted.

Using your fingers, twist the cable in one direction as you create the coil an you'll have the 'over' loop.  Then on the next loop, you twist the cable in the other direction, bring it 'under' (or behind) the loop you just created.

You continue alternating over and under loops until the cable is completely wrapped.

We suggest placing the Cable Porter near the male end of a mic cable.  This way, you can leave as much cable on that you need, and it will be near the mixer and not by the microphone or instrument.
