However, are these mains electrical cables, or speaker or what? You
should not run mains cables behind the skirting board unprotected.



Why? do you hang pictures there?


No, but my mice do....

It's against the regs. Which specify running vertically or horizontally
from a fitting, or within 150mm of the corners or the ceiling - unless
50mm deep or protected by metal conduit etc.


Just cat5, phone and speaker cable.
