Basics

• The Design, Methods (And sort of artform) of organizing cables, and extending their lifetime via design
• Mainly Done via Zipties , Strain Relief , Drag Chains , Electrical Conduit , And port placement, and cable passthroughs
• Special Cable Bundles are also made for applications such as MIDI and DMX setups with many universes
• Also standard choice can help (See Artnet )
• For Power Supplies Fully Modular Power Supplies are the best option
• Also choosing a proper cable length can help
• Labeling Cables/Conduits With a Label Maker or some sort of marker/grease pencil helps organization and maintenance
• Increasing rigidity via either a Drag Chain, a Flexible Electrical Conduit, or reinforcement of bundles with a semi-rigid fiber such as FDM 3D Printer Filament
• Is near essential for servers, render farms, supercomputers, patch racks etc
