Our optic cables are getting stretched too long.
Any one know if/how to recoil these?

I've read that carefully wrapping them around a mandrel of some kind (piece of pipe, whatever) and hitting them with a heat gun (hairdryer) might sort of 'anneal' them back into the coiled shape. I have not yet tried it myself.
If all else fails, get a bigger hammer...
