There´s quite a few tutorials that use a similar technique for those
pesky cables dangling around your average Joe Robot, probably
not quite the same elaborate level of implementation but still likely
to give an idea. Probably also the predecessors of the fixed length curve...
Even I had my take on dangling cables (using the above technique)
but didn´t realize I could become a star by adding several extra rows
and making it a cloth - that doesn´t stretch so terribly much as Syflex
cloth does by default - most likely to the springs being less wobbly...
Cheers

P.S: Here it is. Can´t blame the brain ray for not having become
famous with it, but maybe it stirrs up an idea for "XSI Nuclear":
