Hello
I need to run 7 utp cables through the wall, I need to drill a hole in the wall.
Into the drilled hole I would like to insert a pvc pipe first so that the cables do not come in contact with the wall.
What width of drill bit should I choose?
I did a quick calculation, the cable is 5mm in diameter and so:
2.5mm*2.5mm*3.14*7=137.4mm^2 - area of 7 cables => diameter of the hole(drill bit)
must be at least 13.2mm ie drill fi 14
Knowing that the cables will not perfectly adhere, so let's give 20% allowance.
It comes out drill bit 17.
Theory is theory and practice is practice, so I turn to more experienced colleagues.
If I make a hole fi 20 is enough? I need to buy a drill for 600mm and I would not like to buy another larger one later or drill next to the hole because it is an additional cost no and unnecessary drilling.
Greetings
