I'm building a "media wall" type structure, to house TV, av equipment etc, with alcoves each side lit by Led downlights and I'll be extending my ring main also as part of the build.
My question relates to clipping cables to the ceiling plate (2x3 timber) - is it acceptable to run 1mm T&E clipped alongside 2.5mm T&E along this surface?
I can't see why not as they run through the same holes in the joists from the CU, and the ceiling plate I intend to run them on is greater than 50mm from the front "leaf" (frame) by quite some margin so even though the safe zones for buried cable don't apply I still want them out of the way in this area (top 150mm of wall from ceiling) as shown in picture attached.
Surface of second leaf will be approx 400mm away from any clipped cables
Hope this makes sense?
