Claim 0:
1. A package comprising:
a chamber defining an internal volume, the chamber comprising an inner surface, an outer surface, a top surface and a bottom surface, and a central axis parallel to the inner surface, wherein the inner surface comprises a curvature and the chamber comprises a circular diameter; and
a cable comprising a winding and at least one free end, the winding contained within the chamber and constrained by the inner surface, the outer surface, the top surface and the bottom surface,
wherein the winding is wound around the inner surface and is oriented within the chamber by laying the cable at a winding angle in an oscillating manner, the winding angle being defined by the angle of the cable relative to a second axis oriented perpendicular to the central axis such that the winding forms an ellipse around the inner surface, wherein a diameter of the ellipse formed by the winding of the cable is greater than the circular diameter formed by the chamber, and
wherein the elliptical shape of the winding minimizes the movement of the winding within the chamber.
