How do you choose the right cable duct for your project?

The choice of the right cable duct for your project depends on several factors.

First, consider the type and amount of cables that need to be routed through the duct. This includes power, data, and audio cables. For a larger quantity or a thicker cable type, you will need a correspondingly larger duct.

• For Ethernet and HDMI cables, a width of 10-15mm is usually sufficient,
• for thin power cables, a width of 15-25mm,
• and for thick power cables or multiple cables, a duct with a width of at least 40mm.

Second, you should consider where the duct will be installed. If the duct is visible, a design duct, possibly in a matching wall color, can be the ideal choice. If the duct must withstand heavy loads, for example on a workshop floor, the material should be especially robust.

The length of the required cable duct depends on the distance the cables need to cover. Also keep in mind that some cable ducts are better suited for corners than others.

Last but not least, both cost and the ease of installation of the cable duct play an important role in deciding on the right product.
