Default 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.

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.

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.

It optionally comes pre-slit.

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

Thank you that was really helpful. In all my searches nothing acceptable
showed up for one reason or another.

Regards, Alan
