Trunking in a loft for cabling, to be off the floor

I am going to be threading through some new cabling for CAT6 wiring from the loft, it's a bit of a strange setup as the back of the house is two story and the front is three as the old attic rooms/servants quarters (who knows) so in essence it is a straight line through the loft back to the rack.


However since we use the loft for some storage and access I didn't want to lay the cable on the floor but suspend it in some cable trays from the roof beams, they are whatever the standard roof pitch is - I was told to use suspension kits, but this involves lots of wires hanging.  I wonder if anyone has had similar, or a better solution they can suggest?


I have tried to find some form of L bracket that I could use for the cable tray but seems no-one makes them to attach to a wall or beam.

  • If you really want to do this then the smallest size you can get of cable basket (a u shape made of coarse wire mesh) is the way to go. There are various brackets and clips available to go with it, but you will probably need one of the larger wholesalers to get it off the shelf. It is inexpensive.
