I hear you, but how often have you had to swap out a cable compared to how often have you had to deal with a rats nest? This isn't a whole lot different than zip tying groups of cables together.

IMHO this would be even better with 6 different colors per braid. Then you could trace a cable in a few seconds while also not having a rats nest.

Edit: oops, this was supposed to be a reply to another comment.

Velcro is almost always the way to go with cable management. Zip ties can easily damage the wire and encourage messy wiring since you have to cut and replace every one to change a single wire.

Wire lacing is OK for permanent installations, but good luck changing anything.

Velcro costs so much more than zip ties.
