FWIW, if the cable is small enough, Zip Lock bags work pretty well for
storing cables. (As well as for misc & sundry adapter bits) At least
it keeps them from tangling upon themselves.
I tend to coil up longer cables, and either weave the end around the coil,
or hold the coil together with tywraps or twist ties. Smaller cables I
usually coil or bundle (depending on how the wire wants to lay) and hold
them in place with tywraps or twist ties.
Zip Lock bags work great for things like AppleTalk adapters.
