for my upcoming build i'll be using a tablet mounted to a floating canopy. my current plan involves simple attachment (i.e. command strips) with an exposed right angle charging cable. the canopy is open top, so the cable will run vertically and then into the canopy for hiding the rest of the way to the plug.

i'm throwing this out there for idea/examples on how to better hide the charging cable. i'm not against drilling into the canopy, but since it is external-facing, light leak is a major concern so non-drilled cable solutions are less risky.

thanks!
 
Can always hide with some kind of molding, Use a router to cut a channel in the back of the molding so can be flush. So have access to the cable you can attach the molding with a piano hinge, or if a same color piece of flexible thicker mil plastic/rubber.
