Gaffer's tape or an actual cable tube. You can buy either from a good hardware store. I k now you said no adhesive, but Gaffer Tape is safe to use on like anything. it's a strong but temporary adhesive meant to tape down cables and such without leaving damage.

Gaffer tape gaffer tape gaffer tape! It's made for securing cables and then being pulled up, it's the perfect tool. The adhesive is strong enough to grip whatever you put it on but weak enough to come up easily, the tape is flexible, and it's incredibly durable. It even comes in a ton of different colors so you can camouflage it against your wall.
I had an Ethernet cable gaffer tapped to the floor, on the wall all the way around a doorframe, and them the floor again for almost five years in one apartment and when I took it off, not only did it not take any paint but it didn't even leave a residue. The stuff is amazing.
