Yeah, I know a few tricks, but they always depend on the circumstances.
If all those cables are curves (and not geo), it will be easier to rig the curves with hooks to some bones.
If it’s a cable or something that an animator won’t need to animate, you just need to figure out a way to make it behave w/o the animator needing to touch it. So the solution could be really simple,…or super complicated haha.
