What is the usecase of routing cables behind floor trims like this? How can a computer nerd like me take advantage of these cutouts? I was just thinking of replacing these trims outright with something solid and sealed so dust, grime, and insects can't accumulate behind them. Besides, where are the cables supposed to break out? Why not just use wall mounted cable boxes for things like extension cords and devices? Less of a fire hazard too, especially if you run MDF trims as opposed to PVC/XPS.
>>106522927I have cables strewn all over the plane to confuse glowniggers who break into my house when I'm away
>>106522927they do not break in ten year outer case shredds under walking feet but electrical connection should workhow many lightbulbs in your room
>short-circuit happens>house burns down>OP is now homelessmfw
>>106523168This.
>>106523168Just build with bricks, mutt
>>106522927So, someone managed your cabling in a clean and efficient manner and you can't wait to replace it with fucked up patching, extension cords, cables laying around and all kinds of hillbilly retard shit.I say go for it, your home should reflect the moron living there.
>>106523168These are PVC trims.
there is no usecase, this looks like some bullshit a desperate hick handyman would try to upsell to a clueless techbro redditor
>>106523606It's the most common trim type you'll see out in eastern europe for modern houses, because it is the cheapestMDF is the most expensive along with wood
>>106523314>so, someone [headcanon]what the fuck are you babbling on about?americans seriously think that people put cables in these trims when 99% of the time they are left empty because the cabling isn't in the fucking room, nice reading comprehension holy shit
>>106522927never saw someone doing it like that they rather put them inside brick or concrete walls
>>106524316>americans seriously think>what the fuck are you babbling on about?the ironing
>>106523168>reading comprehension
Cable management inside trims is a meme, take the extruded polysterene pill >superior thermal insulation>waterproof>bugs can't eat it>mimimal space for bugs>durable and lightweight>paintable>easy to cut
>>106522927I have never seen this shit in my life and I feel my life is worse now that I have
>>106523606It just looks like a cheap, slightly shitty but much easier alternative to routing cables behind plasterboard.
>>106525111They're supposed to be floor trims that go with vinyl floor boards>>106525067They're fucking everywhere in modern homes where I live
>>106525154>They're supposed to be floor trims that go with vinyl floor boardsI know, we just wooden skirting boards in my country, or in my case wainscoting like picrel.
>>106525182They popped up as a cheaper alternative to that, before we would just cut out solid blocks of wood and glue it for trims but that became "too expensive" so pic is considered "retro" and "classic" now so $$$ The cost shoots up proportionally to how much mass there is
>>106522927>What is the usecase of routing cables behind floor trims like this?Autistic faggot can't comprehend that some people can't or don't want to run cables through walls or under their subfloor.
>>106525228I have never ever seen a building that doesn't route it behind walls or with encased cable ties on the outside of a wall.>below the subfloorWho does that?
>>106522927>coax
I chiselled holes in to my wall and embedded the wires directly inside of them.Get on my level.
>>106522927Nothing. I prefer the industrial look of neat but exposed cable and conduit
>>106523168>short circuit happens>in a cable that isn't undergoing wearYeah, and maybe the cables in your wall will have a short circuit as well.
running cables in walls is the inferior solution, because you need an extra set of connectors and like we all know connectors come with losses in signals therefore it is the inferior tech solution.>but muh designlay off the estrogen faggot
>>106526777>>106526183
the best thing imo is to have a central router/switch which branches with 2 cables to each room through wallsand then just have a double Ethernet socket in each room, mount a switch close to it in each room, connect a deco mesh to each switch and then you have very fast (one network) wifi in each room, a few more free Ethernet ports from each switch, and a backup cable in the second socket port it would also be nice to somehow close the network in a ring, to have a more distributed network so that one failure point doesn't break the entire network (deco meshes kinda do this, but not at full Ethernet speed)as for tracing a cable inside a room from the socket to another place in that room... yeah that's the ugly part, it has to be on the outside somehow, and no solution is clean imo
>>106522927>What is the usecase of routing cables behind floor trims like this? Routing speaker wire, ethernet, telephone, IoT, tv... very low voltage stuff not power.
>>106523314>hillbilly retard shitMy sides.
>>106527113>Routing speaker wire, ethernet, telephone, IoT, tv... very low voltage stuff not power.and how do you propose to have that exit out into useable space without it being a major pai ni nthe ass
>>106523314
>>106523227>Subhuman calls american muttEvery time
>>106523168As opposed to those un-short-circuitable ones in your fucking walls right now?
>>106527194You cut a piece of it behind a piece of furniture. Don't even bother making holes in it find a good spot and have a gap.
>>106527238my walls are made of brick and concrete retard, but I'm sure that's a big concern for your paper walls
>>106527201Wow a wojak. You sure showed him, son.
>>106522927It's where I hide the wires for the surround sound in the living room.
