Flat Cable Trunking
I need to find about 3metres of trunking to take two cables. One from a
digital projector to a computer, the other the power lead. I am worried that the connectors on the projector end may not pass through the trunking. I have found sources but only one with a slit running the length of the trunking. The problem is it that is a bit 'hilly'. In other words it could present a new problem in a crowded room. If any reader can recommend something, I would be grateful. -- Ubuntu 18.04, kernel 4.15.0-43-generic, Cinnamon 3.6.7 running on an AMD Phenom II X4 Black edition. |

I might be missing something here fella. Trunking has a lid so the connections on the projector do not need to physically pass through the trunking when installing. -- Adam |

I suspect the OP is wanting the €śrubber€ť stuff you can lay on the floor to protect the cables that pass through it.
If so, the options a Put the cables through and then put the connectors on. Get some with big enough channels. Or Slit the underside of the €śtrunking€ť and feed the cable in from underneath. |

Are you trying to get two cables into the one piece of trunking, which is why it's a 'bit hilly'? If so, use two bits of trunking in parallel. I assume you're talking about this sort of stuff https://tinyurl.com/yd6g4moc although this particular one has three channels, which sounds ideal for your situation. Plenty of alternatives https://tinyurl.com/yc9yyd7m Thank you that was really helpful. In all my searches nothing acceptable showed up for one reason or another.
