matrix is correct, split tubing is the way to go.

Hot tip: Go to your local hardware/plumbing supply /home improvement store and get a length of "sump pump extension" hose. It's about 1.5 in. in diameter black plastic "accordion" tubing and comes in 10-12 foot lengths for less than $5.

Use a utility knife or heavy shears to split the tubing down its length, slip the wires/cables inside and use tie wraps to finish the job.

This works great, it's cheap and the stuff is easy to find.

You could go buy wire managment stuff already designed for it. I would think any office supply store would carry them.

Or you can keep wrapping them around the legs of your table. That's what I did but I know there are others out there that complain about it not looking organized but that's what I did.
