You usually buy it. If you need just a short piece, and you have some single-conductor wire, you can measure out two pieces a little longer than you need, tie one end to something, and chuck the other ends in an electric drill to twist them. The wires will get shorter as you twist, so be sure to start out with longer pieces.

How do you straighten a tightly twisted hair dryer cable?
To straighten a tightly twisted hair dryer cable, gently unwind the cable by holding the plug and carefully rotating it in the opposite direction of the twist. You can also lay the cable flat on a surface and pull it straight while applying slight tension. If the cable remains twisted, you can warm it slightly with a hair dryer to make the material more pliable, but be cautious not to overheat it. Finally, store the cable loosely to prevent future tangling.
How do you measure continuity on long wires?
Easy: make sure both ends of the cable are completely disconnected. Go to one end of the cable, twist 2 cores together for instance brown and blue. Now go to the other end of you cable and test the continuity between the brown and the blue cables. This will verify both of these cables are continuous.Now untwist the cables, and twist another pair together, say brown and green/yellow. Test again between these cable and you're done.If you are fault finding, you can use this to figure out which cable is broken.Say you get no continuity between brown and blue.Set the test up again, test brown to green/yellow and you get nothing again.Set the test up again, test blue to green/yellow... assuming you get a continuous signal here you can assume you have a problem with your brown wire.
Why single-core cable armoured with steel wire or tape must not be used for a c circuit?
Current in the single core cable would induce a magnetic current in the steel cable, though a transformer effect. This would heat the steel armored strands, and the circuit would increase more electrical power from the load supply point. The earthing of the cable glands would complete the circuit and the return current would flow in the earth bonding cable between the two points. This is called Eddy currents generated in the cable by the twist of the steel armored around the central core, current flowing in one direction
How do you use wire nuts?
First twist together the wires to be joined. For larger wire use lineman's pliers to apply twist. Make the twist clockwise. Then twist on the wirenut clockwise on the wires. Wirenuts are rated as to how many wires of a certain size they can hold but in general twist by hand until you can twist no more and then about 1/2 twist with pliers. If the wirenut does not get tight it is too big or internal metal portion could be clogged in some way.
How do you calculate cable glands from cable?

What does a twist in a 34 pin data cable mean?

Why the cable of floppy is twisted on one end?
a floppy ribbon cable that tricks the computer into using the drive as A:. This is done with the use of a special twist in the cable that electrically changes the DS configuration of the drive after the twist. This twist, then, causes the controller to think the drive configured as B: is really configured as A:. For this reason, during installation of a floppy drive, always make sure your Drive A: is located AFTER the twist on the floppy ribbon cable. If you are trying to use a non-standard floppy cable without a twist, you'll have to change the DS jumper to DS1, or the Drive A: setting.
What is the purpose of the FDD data-ribbon cable twist?
The twist in an FDD (Floppy Disk Drive) data-ribbon cable serves to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between the individual signal wires within the cable. This twisting improves signal integrity by ensuring that the wires maintain a consistent impedance and reducing the likelihood of data corruption during transmission. Additionally, the twist helps in maintaining the overall flexibility and manageability of the cable in tight spaces.
On a diskette driver data cable what is the drive letter assigned to the drive after the twist?
