I used to install network cables, and of course cables from different
manufacturers differed slightly in diameter. Bigger difference between
cat5 and cat6.
So what I did was to cut some short lengths (6 inches) and tie them
together to see what would fit into the various trunking sizes. But it
was worth leaving a lot of spare space to take the cables round corners
(also to meet the network cabling specifications).
Power cables such as your 1.5mm T&E never lie flat and twist thenselves
up as soon as your back is turned, so always fit bigger trunking than
you first think of.
I used to buy from
cmsplc.com and their sizes started with 16x10mm, then
16 x 16 mm and 25 x 16 mm. The 25 x 16 mm with the correct adapter fits
into the knockouts on standard 8cm square backboxes.
