I'm certain I have seen official Macintosh internal SCSI cables with multiple slits in them to ease folding and cable routing, and even for improving airflow.

In my own SE/30 I have to put two 45 degree folds in my SCSI cable and can only just do this. Would slitting the cable help in this regard? Have any of you tried this? And what should the slit interval be? Even numbered, like say in groups of 4, to preserve signal and ground pairings? What were the official cable slit spacings?
