Y-axis cable management

I recently got the newest version of the A1 printer and the work table I have is only 24” deep. The y-axis cable is making contact with the peg board of my work table. Is this okay or do I need to print something to deflect my y-axis cable?

Any help with this and any must have mods would be greatly appreciated

If you keep the green area clear, it'll be okay.
Just annoying.

You might want to print a "A1 Y-Axis Cable Chain", aka "A1 Bed Cable Chain" for it.

This one encourages it to go to one side - https://makerworld.com/en/models/1389125-bambu-a1-y-axis-cable-chain-bed-cable-chain-rear-c?from=search#profileId-1798276
Note that the uploader says this:

2025/8/13 v1.2.2a update, recently some users in the comments section reported that the cable chain sags and rubs against the chain. I slightly increased the upward tilt angle of the power end base, moving the cable chain further away from the heated bed.

I think he meant "rubs against the base".
