Cable Management

[Christopher]

In our new place, we have real wood floors and unfortunately, the Sky/phone/power outlets are about three metres from our TV unit that houses everything.

Annoyingly, the route also has to navigate a floor-to-ceiling window that's next to the TV unit. Not ideal.

For a short-term solution I've routed everything through some 25mm trunking, just to tidy things up for now. Ideally though, I'd like some advice on a better-looking, slimmer solution.

Any ideas or products for routing cables that you've used yourself? I know there's a few home media installers on here, so do you guys have any recommendations?

It's only to route four cables, totalling ~15mm. Two SkyHD feeds, one power supply and one phone line.

Ta!

The only think I can think of doing would be just using slimline trunking above the skirting board, but then again that window does make things awkward. Would there be no way of having another power socket installed and having the phone line re routed?

Get while cables and just tack them down as neatly as you can.

Nice view. Salford quays?

I think this is the best type of stuff you'll be able to get. Can't really see the window well enough to see if it will work.

That's what I was looking at, it ever goes at the bottom or along the top depending on size needed.

Cheers for the replies, I've bought some box-section trunking that attaches to the wall and I'm going to run that along the base of the skirting/door frame.

Any better solution would still be appreciated. I don't really want to be re-routing sockets etc.

Mate, that's perfect! I'll see if they offer a product that look right!

Ta!

Ordered.

The D-Line stuff is great. Be careful when you stick it, the adhesive is mega strong. Had to remove some when moving from my old place and it removed the plaster from the wall lol.
