Cable Management FAQs
Cable management solutions include trunking, conduit, cable clips, cable ties, brush plates, and cable management boxes. Trunking conceals cables along walls, conduit protects cables in walls, and brush plates allow cables to pass through walls while maintaining a neat appearance. Choose solutions based on installation type and aesthetic requirements.
Trunking is surface-mounted cable management that conceals cables along walls and ceilings, typically used for visible installations. Conduit is installed within walls or floors, protecting cables during construction. Trunking is easier to access for future changes, while conduit provides a cleaner finish but requires planning during construction.
Surface-mounted trunking can be installed by DIY enthusiasts, but electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician. Always ensure trunking is properly secured and cables are not damaged during installation. For concealed installations or when connecting to electrical circuits, always use a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with BS 7671.
