Slider cable management
Thanks for viewing the post. Perhaps I am obsessed with this slider cable management issue. I have several really good ideas such as Medical grade Ametek retractable cable reel using 8 AWG wire and a custom coiled cable in a track that was interesting. I have read about many other ideas. Currently none of them fit for me.
I am trying to save some time because I have many ideas but not a lot of time to develop ideas thus the post to help save time. One idea that is looking promising is based on the old design of the architecture lamp which can be positioned in variable lengths and encloses the cord for protection. This unit mounts under the slider tray away from any obstacles an provides total cable protection.

I run both 110v and 12v cables zip-tied together, just long enough to reach on full extension of the shelf. Then I attached them at 2 points to the underside of the shelf. One connection point at the end by the sockets on the fridge, and the other 1/2 way down the left side of the shelf and kind-a pointing them at 45 deg. That way when you close the shelf there the cables just form a "Z" under the shelf. Don't over think this, you'll just asking for problems.
I did exactly the same with another slider I made for one of the bins in my friends RV. Both have been working perfectly for well over 1.5 years.
