Treat those D-Rings as your cable ladder. Mount them vertically in a straight line between the wall plates and the rack.
The ceiling that they have is this equipment room is kustom and I can't trust it to hold any weight.
Make nice bundles of cables. Maybe do all speaker in a bundle all RG6 in a bundle all Cat5 in a bundle etc. Attach the bundles at each D-Ring. The only weight or strain would be the 1' or 2' between the first D-ring and the wall plate. These short whips wont be an issue.
Even if the ceiling could hold the wires, the room is only about 4' deep and with rack taking ~2', there wouldn't be much room to make a cable tray of sorts.
Any reason you aren't using a tall structured cabinet instead of all the wall plates? unused cables could be coiled up at the bottom and a closed door would keep anyone from accidentally unplugging a cable. Cost should be similar once you add up all the plates and jacks.
This is a takeover job. I have been a part of some wire additions over time, but the 'bones' of the wiring scheme were already in place.
