The blue restraint is just sprial wrap designed for organizing/protecting wires and tubing. It comes in Various sizes. I bought it from McMaster Carr, I'm sure you can get it elsewhere, but they had the colors we wanted.

The spiral wrap will come off very easily and the wires in the wire way are just held in place by the duct itself. you can easily pull out a single conductor without interfering with the others, too much.
