That looks neat and minimalists and would take up far less space than my reel.

How many feet/yards/metres can it hold?

No, it doesn't reduce heat because of "induced current".

The heat comes from resistance in the cable. Whether or not the temperature gets too high depends on the load, the cable thickness, and the ability of the coiled configuration to dissipate heat.

Thanks for the pic Rosalan Ive been looking for a figure of eight cable tidy myself.

One reason i prefer the figure of eight design is because as you pull it off and wind it on the reel it will never twist, used to do the same with the divers umbilical in a previous life, coiling it in a figure of eight on the deck.
Up to 75 meters length and never a knot. Very Happy
