yellowjacket

n. a large plastic ramp-like object laid across a doorway to provide a walking space over cable equipment, such as in a stage set, especially where the amount of cabling makes gaffing impractical (so named for their common colour)

"let's put these cables in yellowjackets across this doorway so we don't get sued."
