Guest rafal Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Hi all, What do you guys use to secure alarm cable on to plastic window frame? Superglue?

Brian c Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Personally, I would rather use single cable trunking than glue. If you don't know......ask.

Wooly-bobs Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 WOAH!!! Hold on there! Wheres this micro trunking coming from, I've never heard of it.... smallest I've ever bought is 9*16. Where does one get this single cable trunking then?

ian.cant Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 You can get a single cable type trunking that is only just big enough to sqeeze a single 6 or 8 core in, i am assuming the chaps are talking about this. It doesnt look like trunking till you have a cable in it, if that makes sense? Im just not sure about the physical size of it but im sure its self adhesive also.

Guest Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Yep, I've managed to get 2 6 cores in a piece once but wouldn't want to do it again I usually get it from my electrical wholesaler in Nottingham. Most manufacturers do it, just not many suppliers bother stocking it.
