I think I'm stuck again, I need 9 cables to enter the new CU but these cables are 20mm X 10mm and most entry points are 20mm x 20mm.
So drill bigger holes in the box!

I think I'm stuck again, I need 9 cables to enter the new CU but these cables are 20mm X 10mm and most entry points are 20mm x 20mm.
So the options I identified were:
1) Some sort of grommet specific for this oval cable
2) Perhaps the whiska membrane grommets work, never seen them before. Sounds like they will.
3) Worse case scenario I have a box next to my CU that crimps all these cables into new grey twin & earth, which would then be more normal for entering the CU.
I think Wiska it is. No one has recognised this cable yet then?
Absolutely not T&E within that whatever it is.If the cable inside is Twin and earth, not singles as I thought, (maybe another system) then just trim the outer coloured sleeves off at the wall and treat the T&E as normal.
why?I'd ditch the lot .
I shall give standard grommet a go, it's just going to be tight as the oval cable is 20mm and most holes are 20mm, the grommet will use 1-2mm, I'll just have to squeeze the cable a bit.
