Hey friends,
Wanted to hear some opinions and thoughts on managing and dealing with all of your multi cable slack once its at the dimmer rack. I've seen lots of interesting and creative ways of dealing with it all, and was curious if there were some good pros or cons to any and all of them. Of course, I know if you have a lot of slack and you need to coil it you should always try to figure eight to avoid heat build up. But what about simply running the excess out and back in a "dog bone" fashion? I've been admiring the pics of Dimmer Beach Monthly recently, and how neat and tidy the cabling looks (or at least not like a giant rat's nest)
I've also seen pipe structures built around the dimmer racks to allow for tying up the slack above the rack. Thoughts on this as well?
Again, just looking for any and all opinions or advice on dealing with all of your multi cable at the dimmer rack end, and tips to avoid a rat's nest.
