Yup, first time I ordered 16mm D line, I thought nope that is no good for man nor beast[1] and asked them to go fine me something large enough to use.
[1] 2 x cat5 would be a push for that, whereas you can get 4 x cat5 in the normal 16 square trunking.
There are recommendations ISTR...
(I may stick some more in the joist when I have something in there to stand on other than tip toes!)
stick the pixel width in the image link, so:
[[image:myimagefile.jpg]]becomes:
[[image:myimagefile.jpg|512px]]Specifies 512 pixels in the x direction...
Of if you do:

This is 16mm wide trunking encased in a 33mm x 16mm strip of softwood, that inside I've routed out a slot.

Primarily it's done here for mechanical protection as next to it is stored our Henry vacuum cleaner, and as vacuum cleaners go he is a bit boisterous when being returned to his staircase cupboard home.
However, if I were running cables across or down a wall, I think it looks a lot nicer than just the naked trucking, and the wood can be painted or stained as a feature. In fact a line of them centrally below a wall mounted TV wouldn't look too bad either, with the advantage that cables can easily be removed and replaced when needed.
Then again YMMV.
