Cable management....crossing at right angles or


Good morning,

I have been out of the hobby for a while, and now just getting things back into my system.

No matter how I try, I can't keep my cables isolated from each other, especially speaker and power. Is there anything besides the old saying of trying to cross at right angles, something..copper tape/Faraday sheets that you can put on the cables when they cross to reduce-eliminate interference or distortion/ EMI RFI?

Thanks,

Randy

I always hear and read about how cables even most of the cheap ones are 

shielded. Don’t almost all cable manufacturers brag about this and talk about all the 

engineering that goes into this. I know in the automotive 

industry there used to be a lot of problems with crosstalk 

between computers and wires. We finally found that by twisting the wires on the bus lines these are the wires that carry all the communication between the computers. If we twisted them and made sure no other wires got in between them this would take care of all RFI problems also where they could not be twisted if we ran other wires at a 90 degree angle to them would also 

eliminate any RFI and crosstalk
