coiled cord
Curly telephone cable
A coiled cord is a cable wound in a spiral pattern that can stretch when pulled and retract when released.
The design prevents tangling and allows movement without slack piling up.
Telephone handset cords were the iconic example before cordless phones displaced them.
Coiled cords still appear on guitar cables, microphone cables, and some charging cables.
