Cable trunks
A cable trunking system is a protective enclosure or conduit used to organize, route, and safeguard electrical cables, preventing damage and ensuring neat cable management. It’s commonly installed in commercial, industrial, or residential spaces where multiple cables need to be run across walls, floors, or ceilings.

Types of Cable Trunking Materials:
- PVC (Plastic): Lightweight, non-conductive, and corrosion-resistant.
- Steel or Metal: Stronger and fire-resistant, often used in industrial setups.
- Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, good for both indoor and outdoor use.
Uses:
- Organizing power, data, or communication cables.
- Protecting cables from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
- Facilitating easy maintenance and future upgrades.
Applications:
- Offices: Routing Ethernet, phone, and power cables.
- Factories: Managing high-voltage cables and control wiring.
- Public infrastructure: Used in railways, airports, and tunnels.
Key Benefits:
- Safety: Reduces the risk of tripping hazards and fire by isolating cables.
- Aesthetic: Keeps cables hidden and organized for a clean appearance.
- Accessibility: Allows for easy inspection, upgrades, or repairs since the trunk can often be opened.
In our work with cable trays for the Monorail project, a similar concept applies—both cable trays and trunking systems are part of cable management, but trays are typically open and used in larger infrastructure settings.
