So,
Let me preface this with the fact that I wish were were flush with OCO money and industry was still like a coked out hooker willing to do anything for a buck. (Translation: “I don’t have a formal requirement but it would be cool if”)
That being said, because we are leading to more M-LOK centric systems, why no cable management? At a minimum, something that had routing at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock.
If nothing is to be found seems like a gap in the market has been found. Had I a 3D printer…
Exactly Chief. This is why I referred to Additive Manufacturing (AM) or modifying an existing item and the publishing a Modification Instruction (MI) if it works.
But, if there was someone who had something like Manta does that would work on an M-LOK rail as used on a system akin to ummm I dunno a CSASS maybe that would be interesting.
Sounds like a perfect niche market for Magpul to take stronghold of. I can’t imagine it to be too difficult to make a channel for routing cables in their Type 2 MLOK covers.

Rogue, the closest thing to a COTS solution that I know of is this:

ETA: in terms of direct cable management, for MLOK, similar to the Manta system, I’m at a loss as to anything available.
Thanks Mike. But that’s only the Switch and we have plenty of M-LOK options for that. I’ll play with some various M-LOK rail covers at work tomorrow with a dremil and see what I can do.
Probably the best COA given the available options, unfortunately.
It’s not a gun project until the Dremel tool comes out…
That’s not only a switch. It manages the wire too if you look at the details. Depending on your setup, it manages more or less wire.
This is true
Something like this, but M-LOK
How exactly do you want to route or secure your cables? Do you require it to be exposed or serviceable without tools? If not:
You could replicate MLOK spacings using some kydex as a panel and make a small notch on each end of the hardware holes. This would theoretically allow you to route your cable underneath this kydex panel.
MLOK hardware and a sheet of kydex is cheap on eBay.

Now that that’s gotten out of your collective systems, maybe er’body hold off on trying to out-clever-phrase each other, and only post if you have a potential answer to the question that was ASKED.
It would be legit if someone would make MLOK rail panels similar to larues index clips. I use them on everything to retain wires.
Ergo makes ladder rail covers with some wire management. I am partial to zip ties myself. Cheap, easy to source, and can be used in multiple locations on a rail without modification.
Quick and dirty:
–One Magpul? BCM? polymer MLOK rail section.
–One MANTA clip or ERGO ladder-cover with wire-loom.
Mount rail on handguard, mount clip on rail, as Emeril says “BAM!” 
Repeat as needed for additional wire harnesses.
Not an elegant solution, but it’s more so than just “lay it on HG and slap some electrical tape over it.”
Thought of that, but it’s only a step above zip ties
Midwest industries mlok to keymod adapters then use kac keymod wire management panel kit

Something like this in the same profile as the MAGPUL M-LOK Type 2 Rail Panels
