I'm looking to run a cat 6 cable from my cellar up the outside of my house to the home office in my loft, now as some will have noticed from posts on here I loath external cabling but running one internally isn't an option and the homeplug network while decent and reliable is frustrating me when editing pictures on my server downstairs. I have decided the best way aesthetically to run the cable is to attach it to the back of the soil pipe so it won't be seen and I figured an easy way of doing this would be with self adhesive cable clamps but I'm struggling to find any with a flexible or curved surface to attach to the pipe. Anyone ever seen anything or got any other suggestions?

I've got a few of these. Note that the clips will only accomodate small cords. Think Cat 6 will fit, but I tried an power extension cord and that was too thick. Definitely very sticky and small enough I reckon it may hang on to a curved svp. You can get them for like £2 on Tesco or 3 packs for £5.

Oh perfect! I shall nab some of those for cable routing at the rear of my HiFi rack - thanks!
Have you thought about cable trunking similar to this

Fit it up back of SVP and also put a cable tie of same colour round pipe at each SVP fixing bracket to stop it slipping - should be able to match colours and this also gives room for a further cable.

They're thin metal and bend to the radius when you press them on. Good strong adhesive on them.
