What is FTTP cable thickness in the house?

The new EZ Bend Fibre has a 5mm Micron Core once the outer sheathing is stripped back.

Thank you. I need to have the new cable routed through the kitchen so my plan is to use this stuff https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/flexible-tubes/3680182/ as a conduit (8mm internal dia) following the wall behind the cupboards. My next door neighbours have had upgrades and the cabling goes up around doors etc and looks more diy than pro. I would rather it stayed at floor level and mostly out of sight.

The EZ Bend Cable has no steel supports in it like the O/H Fibre D/W so is very loose and you might struggle to get it round bends.

Thanks Starwire, I have a plan for that involving threading it beforehand so it's a pull-through. Cheers.
