Electrical installation trunking AKS MKE 10x17 (model 111290) PVC cable duct for wiring channels

AKS MKE 10x17 (model 111290) is a PVC electrical installation trunking designed to route and protect low-voltage wiring in surface-mounted applications. With internal dimensions of 10 x 17 mm, this compact cable duct accommodates small conductor bundles, offers mechanical protection and helps organise visible wiring runs in residential and light commercial environments. The profile is intended for simple snap-fit installation and tidy cable management along walls, skirting boards or furniture.

Advantages

The PVC construction provides corrosion resistance, dimensional stability and electrical insulation. Its small 10x17 mm internal channel is suitable for thin cables, signal wiring and power leads where space is limited. The snap-fit cover system enables tool-free access for adding or removing cables, while the straight, narrow profile maintains a low visual impact and supports neat, continuous routing of wiring.

Suitable for

• Routing and protection of low-voltage power and signal cables in homes
• Surface-mounted installations along walls, ceilings and skirting boards
• Tidying and concealing network, speaker, TV and telephone cables
• Small renovation jobs and light commercial wiring where compact trunking is required

When it may not be suitable

Due to its 10 x 17 mm internal dimension, this trunking is not suitable for larger cable bundles, thick power cables or multi-core mains installations that exceed the available space. It is intended for low-voltage wiring only and not for concealed in-wall installation that requires fire-rated or specialized conduit systems.

Key specifications

• Material: rigid PVC with insulating properties
• Internal dimensions: 10 mm (width) × 17 mm (height)
• Application: surface-mounted cable trunking for low-voltage wiring
• Mounting: snap-fit cover for tool-free access and cable insertion
• Finish: smooth, paintable surface suitable for surface mounting

How to use

Plan the cable route and measure required lengths of trunking. Cut the trunking to size with a fine-toothed saw or PVC cutter, ensuring clean straight ends. Fix the trunking base to the mounting surface using appropriate screws and wall plugs or adhesive, following local installation practices. Place cables inside the channel, avoiding overfilling beyond the internal cross-section, then snap the cover into place. For intersections or direction changes use compatible fittings or mitre the trunking ends and secure them firmly.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm cable diameters and total cross-sectional area to ensure they fit within the 10×17 mm channel
• Assess mounting surface and choose suitable fixings or adhesive for secure installation
• Verify that surface-mounted PVC trunking meets local regulations for your intended installation
• Plan for required lengths, corners and accessories to avoid unnecessary joints

Usage recommendations

Use this AKS 10x17 trunking for organising signal and low-voltage cables where a compact, unobtrusive routing solution is needed. Avoid overfilling the channel; allow space for easy cable addition or removal and follow local electrical safety rules for low-voltage installations.
