Overkill for this application. The "ordinary" wall-mount stuff is
normally only used inside since the cover is not sealed. Much more
expensive than round plastic conduit.

But round trunking required the wires to be disconnected and fished
through?

No need to disconnect the Ethernet cable. A shrouded RJ45 plug will
easily pass through 20mm trunking with room to spare. As the OP needs
to pass 4 cables all he needs to do is tape the cables so that the plugs
are one behind the other and they should pull through easily.


That still assumes it's still in the installation process. Beauty of
trunking is it can be fitted afterwards without disconnecting anything.

And I really don't think trunking looks anymore cheap and nasty than
plastic conduit. ;-)
