I've worked for a major UK broadcaster for 20 years, and have installed equipment in dozens of core equipment rooms. Early in my career I sat next to a Tag frame (which predated krone blocks for jumpering audio cables), it was part of an old central aparatus room full of analog video cabling from the 1980s or before.
I've never seen such lacing. Maybe it's a US thing, but our Washington office was built in 2005 and doesn't have it either. Cable ties all the way - either plastic or velcro.
