    Cable trunking is the normal solution. https://cpc.farnell.com/c/cable-lead...-slot-trunking

    Cable tie bases are available in self adhesive or screw fixing. https://cpc.farnell.com/c/cable-lead...ble-tie-mounts
    Don't forget Rapid Electronics either, they often beat CPC for some stuff even if they don't sell quite the same range, they do the Hellerman slotted conduit stuff. Just saved about£20 on my big toroidal transformer with them And I have to say that even if it doesn't lend itself to modifications, the old fashioned lacing cord has a certain niceness to it.

    Yes, good point. I've bought a few things from Rapid over the years.

    Lacing cord is a lost art form! I recall wiring harnesses being laced up on pinboards back in the day. Real professional examples (aerospace and defence) would even varnish the knots for added security.

    Slotted trunking is the best for sure. Take not you get different widths of slots, i usually use narrow slotted trunking.
