We have been going with rolls and cut to fit, however looking for something=
precut that way we don't end up with a NOC monkey putting a 18 inch piece =
of Velcro on 4 cat5 cables... I do have pictures... If they only get 8 inc=
h strips, it helps keep things cleaner, and then leave the cut to fit to th=
e people who have "engineer" in their title.
Mike, I was looking at them as well and will add them to the list to pay at=
tention to. Thanks, for the suggestion, I will order a roll and have a loo=
k.
Thanks,
Blake

For bulk velcro, I found Uline to be fairly cheap.

You should be able to get a roll from Graybar. Never checked with CSC
for that. We bought a large roll from Graybar and simply cut what we
need. It's not precut and pretty but it works.
