You will also have a choice of how many wires you want in the bundle, so that will eliminating having to run several strands side by side. We use these wires on our robot and they make it look great, and neat.

Mind [R44] and [R45]. Power wires for the cRIO must be 20 AWG or larger (per [R44], and the positive must be red, white, brown, or black with a stripe for the +24volt side and blue or black for the negative side.
There are no restrictions on color for wire management devices such as spiral wrap and cable carriers, however I don't know if a casing such as the one shown is in the same category. That might be one for Q&A.
