I am pretty sure someone knows this. What are the wire management systems called such as those at this link and where might I find them? Thanks.

    I've never actually purchased one. I ether salvaged them or 3D printed them.

    Try McMaster Carr.

    Cable carrier or cable track.

    What length are you looking for and what types/sizes of wire and cable are you using? Check out igus.com for easy to order custom configurations. I happen to have a large one and a small one that is in my ebay pile. I can get specifics on them tomorrow.

    As WBA Consulting suggested, check out http://www.igus.com/default.asp?c=us&L=en. They have a very wide selection and they are probably the best manufacturer of cable chains in the world. After reviewing their documentation, if you know exactly what you want and need, and if the order is not too costly, they will ship you free samples to create prototypes. In fact, besides Parallax, Igus is one of the best companies I have ever worked with. They have "GREAT" customer support, and will help you solve any project design problems that you may have.

    I recommend Igus 100%.
