a cable protector? coverer? something along these lines

at my home studio i have 8 XRL cables that run to my drums and for the most part they can be ran against a wall or at least not in anyones way. However there is about a 2 foot area where the cables are in the middle of where everyone walks.. so i get some bad cables. Now i have a picture of a product in my head but im not sure if anyone has made it yet cause i cant find one, but i think i see them alot at live shows running across the stage. But anyways a i drew a picture so that maybe you could get an idea of what im talking about and maybe direct me to someone or somewhere that sells these.

OK first ill describe it, Its rubber or something similar to it, and its.... well just look at the picture

Google cable runner, you'll find the light-duty ones like they have in offices. The pro stuff is made by Checkers, there are less-expensive versions.

You can pick these up at most computer or office supply stores. They are often called "Cable/Cord Concealers." They come in hard plastic or flexible rubber varieties.

The very inexpensive option is to gaff tape the cables to the floor.

They come in different sizes. The smaller ones will maybe hold 4 xlr. Check here for more options: http://cableorganizer.com/cord-covers/

I use a couple "cable concealers" in my studio. You could maybe fit 4 XLR cords in a standard "concealer"
