Can anyone reccommend a cable raceway that is not as much as an eye sore like the standard Latchduct or Panduit LD series type. I have about 4 CAT5's going down a hallway in a hotel and am trying to keep it inconspicus (sp?). The only other option was cutting access holes in each bathroom to get my cables there. Thats like 25 holes and a huge headache. Gotta love those solid ceilings! Thanks in advance.

Wiremold makes some metal & plastic duct that's pretty inconspicuous.If it's going to be up high and away from prying hands, go plastic. If it's accessible to vandals, go metal. As I recall, the plastic just gets cut & mitred while the metal has all the appropriate corners and adapters - but it's been a while. Check it out. www.wiremold.com Sam

Errr...right...anyway, back to the topic at hand,
Wiremold makes a flat profile product that I use. It comes in ivory, paintable, in five-foot lengths, and is about 0.40" deep and 1.25" wide. It costs about a buck a foot. It comes with inside, outside, and left/right corners, and little union things. Very easy to use, but the double-sticky tape is very tenacious, and once it's stuck, it's stuck. You need to snap a line with a chalk line, and carefully install it, leaving room along both edges (not snugged up against a wall, ceiling, or molding) for the snap-on cover which takes up a little room.
You can get up to 6 cat5e's in it if you struggle.
