Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum cable size this trunking can hold?

The internal dimensions are approximately 12mm wide by 8mm high, suitable for a single thin cable like an Ethernet or phone cord.

Can I use this outdoors?

This product is designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure to elements may degrade the adhesive and material.

How do I paint the cable trunking?

Clean the trunking, then apply a thin coat of acrylic or latex paint. Multiple light coats are better than one heavy coat. Ensure it is fully dry before installing or placing cables.

Is this product suitable for power cords?

No, this micro trunking is too small for standard power cords. It is intended for low-voltage data and signal cables.

How do I remove the trunking if I move?

Gently heat the adhesive with a hairdryer on a low setting and peel it off slowly. Be aware that some residue may be left on the surface, requiring cleaning.

Can I connect multiple pieces end-to-end?

Yes, you can connect multiple 40cm pieces end-to-end to create longer runs. Ensure a clean seam for a continuous look.

Troubleshooting

Trunking not sticking well

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. For very porous surfaces, consider using a stronger double-sided adhesive tape designed for such materials.

Cable won't fit

This trunking is designed for very thin cables. Ensure you are not trying to fit multiple cables or a cable thicker than 12mm x 8mm.

Adhesive residue left on wall

Gently heat the adhesive with a hairdryer on a low setting and slowly peel the trunking away. Use a mild adhesive remover for any remaining residue, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Trunking cracked during installation

Apply gentle pressure during installation. If cutting is required, use a sharp blade and steady hand. Avoid over-bending the trunking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface where you plan to install the trunking is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease.
  2. Measure and cut the trunking to the desired length if necessary (a utility knife can be used carefully).
  3. Peel off the backing from the self-adhesive tape.
  4. Firmly press the trunking onto the chosen surface, holding for a few seconds to ensure adhesion.
  5. Gently insert the cable(s) into the channel. If needed, snap the cover closed.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for thin, single wires such as:
  • Phone charging cables
  • Speaker wires
  • Ethernet cables (Cat 5e, Cat 6)
  • Small camera wires
  • Not suitable for multiple cables, power cords, or thicker AV cables.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • If painting, use acrylic or latex-based paints suitable for plastic surfaces. Allow paint to dry completely before use.
