In this clip I'm going to show you how to tape your cables down. Taping your cables
down is extremely important for the safety of your audience. You don't want somebody
tripping on a cable and hurting themselves. You also don't want someone tripping on a
cable and damaging a piece of your equipment. To tape cables down you want to use what's
called gaffers tape. Gaffers tape will not leave a sticky residue on your cables or the
floor like duct tape will. Start by tacking the cable down in a straight line. Then run two long parallel strips of tape
on each side of the cable.
You'll need to tape down the cables anywhere people are going to walk across, like an aisle
or a doorway. You do not need to tape cables down that are running along the wall. So that
covers how to tape your cables down.
