You might benefit from a reel or spool. Otherwise, carefully roll it out end 
over end and back in the same way, just as if it were on a spool. There is 
another method (search the archives) for an alternating loop pattern that does 
no twist the cable, but for me that would likely end up as one wrong loop then 
spaghetti.
