Very carefully!

Seriously, you need a good way of keeping the ends of the cable on the righ=
t side of the coil, if one gets switched you get knots.  When I worked in o=
pera I would not let the interns coil over-under because they weren't consi=
stent about it and I always ended up getting a series of knots when I was i=
n a hurry.  If that happened I grabbed another cable and handed it to them =
to sort out.

I coil all my personal cables over-under; my 100'+ cables are on inexpensiv=
e orange extension cord reels.
