I believe it’s called Corrugated Loom by some US distributors.
Waytek sells Tees, splices, and fastener clips for that stuff but I can’t say
I’’v ever seen box connectors.

I don't see any there either. I have 25' of the loom ordered, be here
Friday. But it looks like
I'll have to design and print something. The braided stuff I have, but
it is too limp to be
self supporting in the middle of a 30" loop from a j-box I've already
printed and intend to hang
on the inside of its rear frame rail, looping up over and back down to
the top of the print head.
I put a 60mm stinger on top of the head adapter the half inch will fit
over, and the loom s/b
stiff enough to hold itself up out of the way in the middle of the run.
But to achieve that, I'll
need to make a tie-wrap squeezable fitting for the top of the box,
aiming that end of it vertical.
I'm guessing that s/b around 40 mm long to give adequate support. The
cables aren't that bulky,
but will need spliced mid-run, inside the loom. Hence the half inch
bore. This aftermarket stuff
doesn't come with cables long enough to reach on an Ender 5 plus. I
think its the biggest printer
made for under a kilobuck. Bigger stuff is made for industrial folks,
but bring money in little red
wagon trains.
10 grand and up. Way up. Way out of my pay grade. :{
An alternative option that I’ve used is the expandable braided sleeving.

You can run this material through the standard waterproof box connectors. It’s
great for tidying up wires inside control panels but I advise against using it
on automotive applications where it is exposed to uv rays from the sun. It
should be fine on a 3d printer.
It is quite often used there.
Thank you Thaddeous. Take care and stay well.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
