Dado Trunking System
FAQs
Dado trunking is a three compartment cable management system typically mounted at desk or dado height on walls. It provides a neat and practical way to distribute power, data, and telecom cables around offices, schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings. It keeps wiring organised, protected, and accessible while supporting compliance with safety and building standards.
A complete system includes:
- Dado trunking lengths, the main housing for cables.
- Accessory boxes and socket plates for installing power or data outlets directly into the trunking.
- End caps to finish the ends neatly and safely.
- Flat and internal angles for routing trunking around corners.
- Joint covers to join and align two sections of trunking.
Benefits include:
- Multi compartment design that separates power, data, and low voltage circuits to reduce interference and improve safety.
- Accessibility provides easy access for future upgrades, moves, and maintenance.
- Professional finish, keeps cabling tidy and blends into commercial interiors.
- Flexibility as it can be installed in new builds or retrofitted in existing spaces without major disruption.
Accessories include:
- Accessory boxes & socket plates to match the number and type of outlets required (power, data, voice).
- Angles (flat/internal), select based on the room layout to maintain continuous trunking runs around corners.
- End caps & joint covers ensure neat terminations and smooth joins.
- Fixings & compatibility, make sure accessories are compatible with the specific dado trunking profile you are using.
