Large parts of the cable runs do not need to flex in a cable chain. See section A-B below:

1

It is not necessary to purchase expensive cable chain for these sections. Typically, folk use bent up channels from sheetmetal, but these are big dust collectors. Perforated cable tray, or cable ladder are just just the trick for this application. The "holier", the better - dust must fall through. A modified plant trellis from Walmart may even work! :-)

The beauty of a tray or ladder is the ability to neatly separate the high-power (motors/router/spindle) cables from each other and from the signal cables. With all-shielded cables, the separation is not that necessary, but we will rather be safe.
