Flexible cable management

We've been using split loom tubing for many years to keep our wires organized, but last year we had a telescopic mast and with three motors and pnuematic cylinders at the end, there was a lot of cables and tubing to deal with. We ended up using very large split loom tubing, but did not like how it turned out, it was ugly and occasionaly hung up on a protuding edge or bolt.

However, we noticed a few teams at nationals using a flexible, rectangular type of conduit that would flex along just one axis. Has anyone seen this before, and where would we get it from? I searched to big industrial catalogs like McMaster, but to no avail unless I'm calling it by the wrong name.
