I think we considered this issue the last time the wrap was pulled,
and determined that there were several (considered enough at the time)
spare fibers. I hope this is still true. I do not know of any new
fiber usage in the wrap, nor of any broken ones before this incident.
And yes, velcro is better than tape, but better yet probably are the
snap cable holders....most of them are self-adhesive, which is a disaster,
but most of THOSE also have holes for mounting screws, or one can RTV
them on.
