How to Properly Fig 8 Wind a Cable and it is not a Straight Figure 8

It can desirable to wind a cable in a figure 8 to reduce inductance related heat in power cables, to fit a large cable in a case, or to reduce inductance related signal degradation in audio cables to name a few.

Turns out that winding a straight figure 8 is not optimal and does little to nothing in altering the inductance build up compared to a coiled cable. In this video you can hear the effects of inductance build up of coiled and Fig 8 cable as well as see it on an analyzer. I will also show you how to wind a cable figure 8 (perhaps better called a figure 80) such that there is little to no inductance build up.
