I couldn't agree more with Charoenpon555. A rough try is attached but with a curve as a path instead.

Merry Christmas Guys...

P.S. Damn I came second I was about to post that yesterday... BUT!!! :(

Draw your circle with the correct DIA you require, then draw a line were you want to cable to be in a 2D sketch or better if you know how to use the 3D sketch :) then just a simple sweep command and you will have your model.

If you go here also then you and work your way through the tutorials you will have a great understanding of what you can do with Inventor.
