  8. Coiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coiling

    If the cable comes off the spool the same way it goes on, the internal 'lay' is preserved, and the cable isn't damaged or twisted internally. If a cable is straight coiled and then pulled from the coil, it has the effect as coiling cable on a spool and then pulling the cable off the top of the spool, imparting a twist in the cable with every ...

  9. Single-wire transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_transmission_line

    A single-wire transmission line (or single wire method) is a method of transmitting electrical power or signals using only a single electrical conductor. This is in contrast to the usual use of a pair of wires providing a complete circuit, or an electrical cable likewise containing (at least) two conductors for that purpose.
