Labels its figures width by height, and names ceilings

WEINMANN & SCHANZ 40 × 60 mm wall and ceiling channel, 2 lengths of 2 m, perforated base, two-part body

One of two listings on this shelf that says which of its two figures is the width and which is the height, supplied as a pair of two-metre lengths for wall or ceiling.

Weinmann and Schanz white cable trunking of 40 by 60 mm in two-metre lengths

WEINMANN & SCHANZ 40 × 60 mm wall and ceiling channel, 2 lengths of 2 m, perforated base, two-part body

One of two listings on this shelf that says which of its two figures is the width and which is the height, supplied as a pair of two-metre lengths for wall or ceiling.

Internal width
Not published on the listing — 40 mm is named as the width in the fourth bullet, which writes the section as 40 × 60 mm (width × height). Labelling which figure is which resolves one ambiguity; whether the measurement is taken inside or outside the channel remains unstated
Internal height
Not published on the listing — 60 mm is named as the height in the same bullet, with the same limitation. No wall thickness is given that would separate inside from outside
External dimensions
40 × 60 mm, given in the fourth bullet as width by height, with a length of 2000 mm. The title writes the same figures as 40 × 60 × 2000. It is one of two listings on this shelf to label its dimensions rather than printing a bare pair of numbers
Fixing method
Screws, through a perforated base — stated in the third bullet, which names the base perforation as what makes the fixing stable and secure. No adhesive is named anywhere on the page
Hinged or lidded profile
A two-part body — stated in the third bullet as an upper and a lower section. Whether the upper part hinges or lifts away entirely is not described, and no click closure is named
Length per piece
2 m — stated in the title and in the fourth bullet, which gives the length as 2000 mm and the delivery as 2 × 2.0 metres
Pack quantity
Two pieces — stated in the title as 4 metres and in the fourth bullet as 2 × 2.0 metres. The total and the piece count agree with each other
Accessories supplied
Not published on the listing — no bends, T-pieces, couplers, end caps or screws are named. Two listings on this shelf include accessories and this is not one of them
Material
Not published on the listing — no PVC and no material of any kind is named in the title or in any of the five bullets
Colour
White — stated in the title and in the fourth bullet

  • Says which figure is the width and which is the height, which five listings here do not
  • Names ceiling runs as well as wall runs, which no other listing on this shelf does
  • No material named anywhere on the page

Best for: A run that crosses a ceiling as well as a wall — a cable brought from a consumer unit to a room across a garage or a cellar — where the channel is screwed up and left alone.

On the listing

Four metres of cable trunking, described as a wall channel and a ceiling channel, 40 × 60 × 2000 in white, supplied as 2 × 2.0 metres; offered for tidy cabling and reliable protection of lines against damage; described as ideal for orderly and visually pleasing cable routing on walls and ceilings; built from an upper and a lower section, with a base perforation for a stable and secure fixing; dimensions of 40 × 60 mm, width by height, with a length of 2000 mm and delivery as 2 × 2.0 metres; and named as ideal for electrical lines, network cables and more.

Width by height, said out loud

Two of the seven listings in this hub say which of their numbers is which. This is one of them.

The fourth bullet writes 40 × 60 mm and then, in brackets, width by height. That single clarification does more work than it looks.

Forty wide and sixty tall is a channel that stands off the wall and takes a bundle stacked several deep. Sixty wide and forty tall is a flatter channel that lies along a skirting. They are different products for different runs, and a bare pair of numbers does not distinguish them — two other listings on this shelf print exactly this pair of figures in the opposite order.

What remains unsaid here is the same thing that remains unsaid everywhere on this shelf: whether those millimetres are the space inside or the size outside. No listing in this hub settles it, and the working rule is to read the figure as external and size up.

Wall and ceiling

The title names both and the third bullet repeats it: a wall channel and a ceiling channel.

That is the only mention of ceilings on this shelf, and it changes what the fixing method has to do. On a wall a channel is largely resting against the surface and the fixing keeps it in place. On a ceiling the fixing carries the whole weight of the channel and everything in it, continuously.

Which is why the perforated base matters here more than it would elsewhere. This is a screwed installation and the page offers no alternative — no adhesive is named anywhere, and an adhesive run overhead would be holding a hanging load with tape.

What can actually be screwed into, and whether a particular ceiling should be drilled at all, is not a question this page can answer. That belongs to the manufacturer’s instructions and to the local rules.

An upper part and a lower part

The third bullet names the construction: two sections, one on top of the other, with the base perforated.

What it does not say is how the top comes off. A hinged lid stays attached and opens along the length; a cover lifts away entirely; a one-piece profile has to be prised. Three listings on this shelf describe their opening mechanism and this is not one of them.

For a run that is screwed to a ceiling and then forgotten, it may not matter much. For a run that will be added to, it is the difference between a thumb along the channel and a ladder.

Two lengths, and the arithmetic agrees

Two pieces of two metres, four metres in total, stated twice and consistent both times.

That is a modest thing to praise and it is not universal on this shelf: one listing gives a total length and never says how many pieces make it up.

Four metres in two-metre lengths means one join in a straight four-metre run, and there are no couplers on this page to make it with — no accessories of any kind are named.

The material, unnamed

No PVC. No plastic. Nothing.

The bullets describe what the channel does and where it goes and never what it is. Trunking is normally self-extinguishing PVC, and this listing does not say so. Two of the seven listings in this hub leave the material out, and this is one of them.

Before ordering

Read the section as forty wide and sixty tall, which the listing does tell you, and size up for growth, which it does not. Plan for joins and ends from another source. And take the fixing itself — what the ceiling is made of, what may be drilled — to the manufacturer’s instructions and to the local rules, because this page describes a listing and nothing more.

More cable trunking

  • D-Line white half-round self-adhesive trunking with corner pieces, T-piece and end caps

    D-Line 20 × 10 mm half-round profile, 4 lengths of 1 m, self-adhesive, 12 accessories itemised

    The smallest section on this shelf in a half-round profile meant to read as part of the skirting, with an accessory list that names every one of its twelve pieces.

    Internal width
    Not published on the listing — 20 mm is given in the title and in the fifth bullet as 20 mm (B), the width, without saying whether it is measured inside the channel or across the outside. Labelling the figure as a width is more than most listings on this shelf do; it still does not say which width
    Internal height
    Not published on the listing — 10 mm is given as 10 mm (H), the height, with the same ambiguity. On a half-round profile the internal shape is not a rectangle, which makes the distinction more consequential rather than less
    External dimensions
    20 mm (W) × 10 mm (H) — the figures the listing publishes, labelled as width and height in the fifth bullet. It is the smallest section on this shelf by a clear margin
    Fixing method
    Self-adhesive — stated in the second bullet, which names a strong self-adhesive backing for peel-and-stick installation and says no electrical or DIY knowledge is required. No screw fixing is offered, and no screws are supplied
    Hinged or lidded profile
    A one-piece design with a hinged lid — stated in the second bullet, which names the arrangement as what makes adding cables easy. The lid stays attached to the channel rather than lifting off
    Length per piece
    1 m — stated in the title and itemised in the fifth bullet as 20 mm (W) × 10 mm (H) × 1 m lengths
    Pack quantity
    Four pieces — stated in the title as a 4 m multipack of 4× 1 m lengths, and again in the fifth bullet
    Accessories supplied
    Twelve pieces, each named: 2 flat bends, 2 external bends, 2 internal bends, 1 equal T-piece, 3 couplers and 2 end caps — itemised in the fifth bullet, and the third bullet gives the same total as 12 of the most popular accessories. The two counts agree with each other, and the third bullet adds that the bends and T-pieces carry rear retaining clips and that their design covers rough angled cuts and imprecise measurements
    Material
    Not published on the listing — no PVC and no material of any kind is named in the title or in any of the five bullets. What the fourth bullet does describe is finishing: the trunking and its accessories can be painted after keying the surface with fine abrasive paper and applying two coats
    Colour
    White — stated in the title, with the fourth bullet naming the paintable finish as the route to matching anything else

  • Gewiss pure white cable trunking of 40 by 60 mm supplied as twelve two-metre bars

    Gewiss 40 × 60 mm channel, 12 bars of 2 m for 24 m, pure white

    Twenty-four metres in twelve bars, and a description four lines long that names no material, no fixing method and no lid — and gives the brand twice, differently.

    Internal width
    Not published on the listing — 40 mm is given in the title and repeated in the first bullet, with nothing said about whether it is measured inside the channel or across the outside
    Internal height
    Not published on the listing — 60 mm is given with the same ambiguity, and no wall thickness appears that would separate the two figures
    External dimensions
    40 × 60 mm — the figures the listing publishes, in the title and in the first bullet. Two other listings on this shelf publish the same pair, one of them in the opposite order, and none of the three says which measurement it is
    Fixing method
    Not published on the listing — no adhesive, no screws and no pre-punched base is named anywhere in the title or in the four bullets. It is the only listing on this shelf that does not say how the channel stays on the wall
    Hinged or lidded profile
    Not published on the listing — no lid, cover, hinge or closure is described. The second bullet gives the product type as a cable management cover, which names a function rather than a mechanism
    Length per piece
    2 m — stated in the title and in the first bullet, both of which describe the pack as bars of two metres
    Pack quantity
    Twelve bars, 24 metres in total — stated in the title and repeated in the first bullet. It is the longest supply on this shelf by a clear margin
    Accessories supplied
    Not published on the listing — no bends, T-pieces, couplers or end caps are named
    Material
    Not published on the listing — no PVC and no material of any kind appears. The second bullet gives the product type as a cable management cover and the fourth gives the colour, and neither says what the channel is made of
    Colour
    Pure white — stated in the title and in the fourth bullet, which gives the colour on its own line

    • Twenty-four metres in one pack, which is the longest supply on this shelf
    • The bar count, the bar length and the total agree in both places they appear
    • No fixing method anywhere, which is the one thing every other listing here publishes

    Best for: A large installation already specified elsewhere, where twenty-four metres of a known manufacturer’s channel is being reordered rather than chosen from a description.

  • EDO white PVC cable trunking of 60 by 40 mm with a hinged click-fastening lid

    EDO 60 × 40 mm channel, 2 m, click-fastening hinged lid, screw or plug mounting

    The one listing on this shelf that argues against adhesive rather than offering it, with a lid that clicks shut so cables can be added to a finished run.

    Internal width
    Not published on the listing — 60 mm is given as the width in the title and never described as an internal or an external measurement. No wall thickness is published
    Internal height
    Not published on the listing — 40 mm is given as the height, with the same ambiguity
    External dimensions
    60 × 40 mm — the figures the listing publishes, carried here because the page never states which measurement they are. Two other listings on this shelf publish the same pair of numbers
    Fixing method
    Screws or wall plugs — stated in the third bullet, which is the only place on this shelf where a maker argues the point: it names screw fixing as offering maximum stability compared with self-adhesive solutions, and recommends it where a reliable fixing and a heavier cable load matter
    Hinged or lidded profile
    Hinged, with a click fastening — the title names a Klappdeckel, a hinged lid, and the fifth bullet describes a cover with a click closure that opens and shuts quickly so cables can be added or rearranged without dismantling the run
    Length per piece
    2 m — stated in the title
    Pack quantity
    Not published on the listing — the title gives a length of 2 m and no bullet says how many pieces make that up or whether more than one is supplied
    Accessories supplied
    Not published on the listing — no bends, T-pieces, couplers, end caps or screws are named anywhere on the page
    Material
    PVC — stated in the second bullet, which calls it high-quality PVC with a stable construction that resists deformation
    Colour
    White — stated in the title. The fourth bullet adds that the channel is also available in dark anthracite

    • A click-fastening hinged lid, so a finished run can be opened and added to
    • Argues for screw fixing over adhesive and says why, which no other listing here does
    • No pack quantity, so how much arrives for a stated two metres is unclear

    Best for: A permanent run carrying a bundle that will grow — a desk that keeps acquiring equipment — where the lid has to open again without the whole length coming off the wall.

    Integrated cutter
    Yes — stated in the same phrase as the cutting function of the tool

  • KNIPEX crimping tool with ratchet mechanism and integrated cable knives

    KNIPEX Ratcheting parallel-crimp tool with a releasable lock and integrated cable knives

    The only tool on this shelf that describes its own mechanism in detail — a parallel crimp held by a releasable lock — and the only one that never names a single connector it terminates.

    Connector positions supported
    Not published on the listing — the four bullets describe cutting, stripping and crimping, and name no connector, no position count and no category of plug. It is the only tool on this shelf that leaves the question entirely unanswered
    Pass-through capability
    Not published on the listing — no trimming blade at the front of the die is described, and the term never appears
    Ratchet action
    Yes — stated in the third bullet as a forced lock that can be released, credited with keeping crimp quality consistently high. The fourth bullet adds a lever transmission for less tiring work
    Integrated stripper
    Yes — stated in the first bullet as fast cutting to length and stripping of Cat cable by means of high-grade knives
    Integrated cutter
    Yes — stated in the same bullet, as the cutting-to-length function of those knives
    Replaceable blades
    Not published on the listing — the knives are described as high-grade and nothing says whether they can be changed when they dull
    Punch-down tool included
    Not published on the listing — this is a single tool rather than a kit, and no punch-down function or accessory is described
    Kit contents
    Not published on the listing — the four bullets describe the tool alone and name nothing supplied with it. No plugs, no boots, no tester and no bag appear

    The only tool in this hub with an adjustment that changes which plug body its jaws will close on, sold with fifty plugs and a mini stripper — and with nothing said about a ratchet.

    Connector positions supported
    The position counts are not printed. What the first bullet names instead is the connector families and cable categories: RJ11 and RJ12 standards, RJ45 pass-through plugs with dovetail clamps, and Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 cable
    Pass-through capability
    Yes — stated in the first bullet, which names RJ45 pass-through plugs with dovetail clamps among what the tool terminates

    Not published on the listing — the third bullet describes a non-slip grip, single-handed operation and less fatigue, and names no lock, ratchet or release
