They are not meant to be placed in the canopy.

I don't implement the cables regardless of the installation (certainly not for the short time fans are on my test rig), so typically I would just shove it all inside the box/canopy. Now a lot of them are so long to accommodate extension rods that it's impossible to get all the length out of sight, once in awhile I'll try and then remember why I take them off. So much unnecessary frustration.

It's the ones made of thicker steel that are more difficult to deal with because they are not as flexible but I haven't had much trouble with the regular ones.

I pretty much always remove safety cables, unless it's super short. They've been on a bunch of new fans I've gotten lately (Matthews, Kichler, Fanimation). It's not that I don't like what the cable is supposed to do, but it is literally the most uncontrollable, in-the-way thing EVER implemented on ceiling fans. Most of the ones I've dealt with are so long I can't get it all shoved inside the canopy. I do however save them and keep them in the box with the fan. Definitely understandable. Whenever working with a fan made after the late 80's, I fully anticipate performing the "safety cable wrestle!" It is merely a fact of life with fans of this age up here in Canada Regardless, I argue that the positives outweigh the negatives in a long-term installation.

Especially when you compare it to a new Panama's price (the spinner) this is a bargain. In the end its what you like is what you should get. If you post it on here if its from 1980, 2005, or 2016 you're gonna get positive and negative comments from posters. In the end if you like it then I am happy!! One fan I loved was my Harbor Breeze Classic in Polished Brass but I got rid of it stupidly thinking it was cheap but I truly loved that fan and wish I could get it back. They're pretty cheap, but I do like the appearance of those fans..
