and normal surface trunking (the plastic sort with a snap on
cover)

That'll do, stick that in the wall, it saves cutting the plugs off
too.

Thanks for the suggestion - thing is, they are very complex plug - DVI
plugs, so wouldn't want to cut them off anyway. Also, I'd like the
channel/conduit to be wide enough for the plug anyway, so that I can
replace them later if necessary (very expensive stuff).

So my question sort of still stands - where can I get an conduit wide
enough for a DVI plug (about 40mm), that will chase into a wall, and
what should I use to fill and cover the hole?

Thanks

Marcos

For that size, you'd be into steel trunking. 2 X 2 or 3 x 3 (inches)

See:-

www.tlc-direct.co.uk

But what effect you'd have on the integrity of a wall by chasing it in,
I'm not sure. It will depend on the wall.

If the wall on which the plasma is to be mounted fortuitously backs onto
fitted wardrobes or similar in the room behind, it might be feasable to run
the vertical on the other side of the wall and then bring the cable
horizontally through the wall behind the plasma.

Otherwise I would suggest some expanded metal mesh across the trunking, to
give the wet plaster something to key into.

As somone else suggested some expermet over it will help the plaster
stay put.

Think you're into waste pipe territory there. You'll need an extremely
deep chase though.
Might be worth nipping down your nearest electrical wholesalers, you
can get trunking about 25mm deep by varying widths upto 100-150mm, if
you can get a length it would save chasing so deep.

As a start, some stuff from the MK catalogue.

25mm x 50mm mini trunking. Cat No. YT/6
50mm conduit. Cat No. HIP/6 BLK
25mm x 100mm trunking. Cat No. NBT/3
