Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again:

However one could use a retractable cable reel; that wouldn't have a
hanging loop.

An alternative is a coily flex (headphone type) with a retractable
clothes-line through the middle of the helix to stop it dragging on the
ground.

Festoon carriers are available to attach to the cable so the cable sheath
isn't rubbing directly on the catenary

Pretty crude compared with an inductive thing at the closing end imo.

And it may be easier to wire at the closing end too.

You object, AGAIN, senile auto-contradictor? Why am I not suprised? LMAO
