If you know any of the older Telco guys, it was always used for cabling and creating the most beautiful cabling runs through switching sites and the such.
Unfortunately, it is somewhat an art form which has been lost (I certainly don't have some of the skill to create some of the awesome cabling in a PSTN exchange which would have been done back in the day - we're talking millions of cables in the larger exchanges, all running in perfect alignment!)
Basically, you used to use wax lacing as opposed to cable ties or Velcro.
