Canaletas de PVC is one of the most widely used cable management solutions in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations. It provides a safe, organized, and durable pathway for electrical and data cables, protecting them from mechanical damage, dust, and fire hazards.
As a professional PVC trunking factory with over 20 years of manufacturing experience, SW supplies standard and custom Canaletas de PVC to global brands. To help our customers better understand product selection, this guide introduces the common specifications, sizes, and technical parameters of PVC trunking.
1. Common Specifications of PVC Trunking
Canaletas de PVC comes in a variety of dimensions and designs, depending on cable load, application environment, and installation requirements.
1.1 Standard Sizes
Typical sizes (width × height) include:
10 × 10 mm – suitable for light wiring, small devices, and communication lines
16 × 16 mm – for small cable runs in residential applications
25 × 16 mm – common for low-voltage wiring and data lines
25 × 25 mm – compact square trunking for multiple small wires
40 × 25 mm – medium load, offices, and commercial use
50 × 50 mm – larger capacity for power and data cables
60 × 40 mm – medium-to-heavy wiring installations
100 × 50 mm – high-capacity trunking for industrial or infrastructure projects
👉 Lengths are usually supplied in 2m or 3m sections, but custom lengths are available.
1.2 Profile Types
Plain trunking (solid cover) – general cable management
Slotted trunking (wiring duct) – widely used in control panels and switchboards
Round edge trunking – for better aesthetics in visible installations
Flexible trunking – for special projects requiring bendability
