Help me find/recommend what I am looking for

Here's my situation:

I am in an office and just wired up 15 computers. The wires run along the floor through cubicles and then go up the wall into the ceiling. I used raceways to cover the wiring. It sticks right to the wall and the cables go inside it. This is not a problem since it can hold about 4 wires each. Here is where my problem is. I am looking for something to cover the 15 wires that come out of the ceiling in the back room. They go down the wall and into a switch. It's messy though, so I was looking for some kind of something to hide the wires. Like a big raceway or something. I was almost thinking of getting like a 2" PCP pipe and cutting it in half so it is a semi-circle and then put the wires inside that and stick that to the wall. But I am sure there are other options out there.

Are there any good sites that have wiring hardware, etc. that I can look at and order? Any other recommendations?

 
can't you drop the cables into the wall and setup a patch panel ???

15 cables coming out of the ceiling into the switch.... that's gotta be ugly.

If you have to have the cables outside the wall, I'm sure a PVC pipe will work, but there are other solutions.

You can get some conduit or cable trays. But just about anything on the outside of the wall will look pretty ugly.

And I would also run a couple extra lengths of cable through it before you stick it to the wall. Also don't pack the cables in there, make sure you have room to move them, in case you need to pull cable for any reason.
 
summitracing.com or jegs.com

look up "convoluted tubing"

It's meant to cover wire to make attractive bundles out of rat's nests.
You can also get various connectors. Tees, angles, etc.
