You can buy flat ribbon cable with a thick protective black plastic (heatshrunk?) surround already on it. We used it by the drum at one of my previous places as customers used to remove modules to re-arrange them (which they were allowed to do) but kept on catching the ribbons.

It's also available with two layers of plastic with a foil shield between them - even more expensive but reduces interference when you've got a virtual earth over 3 metres long :-)
