What are you guys doing when you have a component such as an AVR where damn near every jack on the rear panel is in use. Often an AVR only has a couple of optical cables running into it and a single lacing bar will suffice, but in this case I'm using nearly every input, both component and composite video, and both analog and digital audio connections. (Second zone only passes analog and composite.)

I've done plenty of Crestron matrices but the jacks on those are configured in spaced out rows which are perfect for several lacing bars. Most AVR's, however, are a dense cluster of jacks and I's trying to finger out how to make it purdy.

I don't think there's a real easy way, just plenty of thinking about what goes where beforehand. We do use a top and bottom lacing bar though:

Nice looking stuff there! I only worry about having to change out the receiver to a newer one at some point. Is there at least some slack further up the lines?

We use this stuff to manage cable at the edges of the rack and to ensure that there is some slack without looking too untidy.



You can kind of see it more clearly here:

By the way that slotted duct is made by either Panduit or Hellerman Tyton among others.

How cool. We have just been tying the vertical chases to the front and side holes of the rear rails....but have often wondered how to hide it if we wanted to. Thanks.
