Had a customer with I believe 8 of those 8 port 'Chicklet' bricks running under the computer room floor and into a hole in the wall. Went to the other side of the wall (in the plant) and, um, nothing! Customer got out a hex Key and turned two screws in holes in the wall and opened up the WALL! Inside the wall those things were screwed to the studs four on each side with all the Twinax feeding from there up into the ceiling.

Since NONE of the twinax was still in use we had 'fun with nips' and created us a good size mountain of cables!

Oh, and the very last piece of twinax was really the cable that came from
an AS/400 (remember those?) and had the multiple twinax ports. It only
remained laying around long after that AS/400 was gone because it was
pinched under a raised floor pylon with a heavy rack on top of it.
