In my experience, data center cabling is either a huge mess (random cables just hanging everywhere) or is tied down so much you can't do any repairs/replacements (velcro, tie wraps, etc). There is a fine line between cleanliness and usability.
For the folks that work with me, I explain the importance of air flow, proper cable length, and component serviceability. You definitely don't want "piano wire" stretched across the rack that prevents someone from replacing a PSU or NIC without affecting other gear in the rack.
