Cable Duct - Electrical Ducting for Cable Management

Cable ducts are a great way to organise and protect electrical cables. They are made of PVC, which is a durable and flexible material. Cable ducts or electrical ducts as they are commonly known, can be installed in various locations, including walls, floors, and ceilings. They are also available in multiple sizes and colours so that you can find the perfect one for your needs.

In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, cable ducts offer several safety benefits. They can help prevent electrical fires by keeping cables organised and providing cable segregation from coaxial and power cables. They can also help prevent children and pets from being electrocuted by exposed wires.
