Not the kind on TV, but the kind that hides cables and makes them look all neat and tidy.

Does anyone know where I can find a good source of these things? I've used some inexpensive ones I ordered from Amazon, but they ended up being even cheaper (in quality) than I'd expected, and look terrible. I need to replace some I installed, and want to make sure I'm getting a decent product. I also don't want to break the bank. Any ideas where to go? I wish Amazon had a decent product, but I haven't seen one.

Are you referring to "cable trunking"? That might give you a wider range of search hits.

Heh, that's a new term for me! It appears to be mostly a British term, though, since all the top search results are UK-based. Most of them also use the other term I've searched for, which is "conduit."

"cable management" will also help to some extent, I think.

Are you looking to install in a commercial space or a residential space?

Commercial wire races, conduit trays and such come in a variety of forms.

For residential, there are self adhesive plastic channels in various widths and colors, even versions that replace or augment a portion of the baseboard to aesthetically 'hide' in plain sight.

Does this help?
