Neat way for cable to pass through plasterboard
This is probably a dumb question but I haven't found a satisfactory
solution... I have some surface mounted equipment (e.g. heating controller, security controller) into which I must terminate some low voltage (50V) cables (e.g. RS485, PIR sensor connections). The equipment enclosures have knockouts on the underside through which the cables enter. The cables are run within dry lining. What is a neat way to bring the cable out through the plasterboard and up into the equipment? I could simply drill holes in the plasterboard and thread the cable through but this wouldn't look nice. I could have some 20mm conduit coming out of the wall and up into the knockouts which might look a bit better. A surface-mounted junction box (about 250mm width x 90mm height) with rear-entry knockouts occurred to me, but I can't find a decent source. Does anyone have some neat ideas? |
