I will be incorporating the following slotted cable ducting to help with my cable management.

It should help organise the long runs of cable from all the pumps, including the Tunze Stream pumps that seem to have a 10M cord :)

• Maximum service temperature: 85℃.
• Test to UL file E97527 up to 50℃.
• Can hold 60-70 cables.
• Keeps cables untangled.

Specs

• Material: High impact, self-extinguishing, warp-proof 94V-0 PVC
• Colour: Grey
• Dimensions: 45mm x 45mm x 2m Long

I started out with those ones and ended up going with these that were much easier to use.
You can get them at Bunnings

Hi daveH, thanks for your comment.

Were they difficult to work with? Or were they not suitable?

I am after something to hide the cables as well as organise them :)

Difficult to work with and the lugs start to break off after time if the cables are taken in and out.
The others were much simpler and durable.

Glad they are working for you.
They seem to fit all the criteria that I require and hopefully they work for me too :)

I also use 2 x different sizes to suit the number of cables I am running.

What 2 sizes are you using?

 

[macca_75]

I'll try and measure and take some pics tonight.

I used this and it was good for keeping cables hidden but it was a real pain to remove cables from if I needed to take a pump out to clean it.

 

[192k]

Good point Buddy.
All my gear has long cables and I did not think about removing the pumps etc for cleaning/maintenance.

I'll just have to see how they go for the moment.

Some differing opinions :)

@192k it will be interesting to get your opinion in the future.
