Helping finding 10+ slot cable management clips that can be screwed downward into wood (alien.top)

I'm remodeling my home and am running Cat 6A to each of the rooms. There's quite a few runs and in an effort to be as neurotic and pedantic as possible, I'd really like to have all of the cables properly spaced together (at least until they split off to their respective locations).

Does anybody know of a product like the one below that can be screwed into wood from the top-down? I've found a few of the 4-5 cable ones, but they require lateral screwing/nailing. In my case, the wires are all running atop 2x6 ceiling joists.

I could probably buy these and just drill holes through the #1 and #10 ports to secure them, but if there is a product designed for it, I'd love to know. I've searched high and low and can't find any such thing.

Thanks in advance and Happy Thanksgiving!

If you're appropriately equipped, this is a thing you can 3D print: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4546126

So..... firstly - thank you very much for sending the model. That is 100% the thing I'm looking for.

And truth be told, my very first thought was that I should just 3D print these. Unfortunately as the building is currently in a state of construction, I have all of my 3D printing stuff in boxes. I'm considering breaking it out specifically so that I CAN print these, but thought that if I could find them I would just buy them.

Anyway, thank you again for that as it's quite literally exactly what I was hoping for :)

Ah, fair enough. I'm not aware of a commercial product that matches it, but I hope you find what you're after!
