We started using cord reels available form McMaster Carr.  Because they are
retractable they don't have that spiral look, but we can move them easily
enough and they use a black wire, so they do the job.

Hello, all:

We are modifying an exhibition area in the 1964 section of our  
building to make it more flexible.  We can't install power in the  
floor so we are planning to make a ceiling mounted grid from which we  
can drop power lines.  We want to avoid rigid conduit, so we are  
looking for a system that will allow us to drop power 20-30 feet on  
flexible cables.  We have seen cables that spiral downward that are  
reasonably attractive, so we are interested to know if anyone has used  
a system like this for making flexible exhibition spaces.

Thanks in advance to the ISEN hive-mind!

Eric
