Sometimes you want it to disconnect instead of pull everything down with it if something gets caught on a wire.

I hear you, I just can’t do it. Though all the slack is zip-tied away, albeit messily.

Oh no. Run those cables sloppy free like a 90s cyberpunk rat's nest.

It's like magic. I swear, sometimes it gets in places the instant it's able to. Meowphy's Law.
