Re: Time for cable...



Only trouble with tie wraps is you have to cut them if you want to make
changes. If you can, just leave them loose but tidy.
Another idea is to get a length of grey T&E cable, nail each end down making
a hoop keeping the cables together, if you want to add or pull out a cable
its easy to do. Also leave a pull cord through the hoops then you can drag
in more cables without having to thread through each one.
