 Discussion
The idea is to keep a finished pile of spaghetti in a dish so it won't be affected if someone later changes the recipe by substituting some of the ingredients: only spaghetti cooked later should see this change of ingredients.
The reason is that the spaghetti is hidden inside of an elegant programming metaphor, and whole gobs of the stuff can be manipulated with a single expression, and in very few machine cycles on this fine grained parallel architecture.
Another ribbon cable confusion arises from the fact that the cable vendors number the wire one way, the connector vendors number the connectors another way, and the board vendors use all sorts of diverse contact numbering schemes.

 Battling Medusa - Avoiding Cable Spaghetti
You will need plastic cable ties long enough to handle the girth of the cable bundles you plan to tether, and removable and reusable cable ties, which are often made of Velcro.
Use permanent ties for cables that will be less likely to require access, such as tape machine sends and returns, tie lines (nonassigned line-level cables that allow equipment in different rooms to be connected as necessary), and mic cables.
This is where you have to use single cables and fish tape to pull them together through the conduit.” Fish tape is like a long measuring tape that you can use to “fish” the cable through the conduit.

 The Cable Companies
Cable companies can bankrupt this competition by "proprietizing" their set-top box and not disclosing Channel Info.
But Cable Set-Top Boxes can be infinitely smaller than they are and can be "slotted into" whatever other entertainment hub needs to interface with them, if Government forces them to do so.
Adding TiVo or ReplayTV service is important for the cable companies because satellite TV operators have already moved to add such features to their offerings.

 Question About OTA Antenna Cabling For HD Reception - TiVo Community

In any common setup this quickly leads to cable spaghetti, which is made worse if one considers more complex signals like component video (another three cables each way).
RCA connectors and cable are also commonly used to carry SPDIF-formatted digital audio, with plugs colored orange to differentiate them from other typical connections.
The word phono is an abbreviation of the word phonograph, because this connector was originally exclusively used to connect the audio output of a phonograph to its corresponding amplifier input.

I’d like to pass along a couple of tips that may be helpful.(1) Be sure to notice how the cables are routed in regards to the bracket and also direction of the rotation of the drum to raise the window before you disassemble the assembly.
Wind the cable onto the drum about 4 turns as tightly as possible and secure it with a heavy rubber band.
It’s crucial that both the cables are taunt so you will have to make several adjustments after you intitially attach the cables to the window.
