signatureCable grip. Electrical supply houses will have various sizes. Would be a piece of cake if not for the 90 degree bends, how large radius? Standard conduit bender radius? Often easier to do those bends with liquitite, if necessary you can disconnect the fittings and pull the cable through then reconnect the fittings.
50 feet is not very long. Maybe consider pulling the bundle up the side and then down the conduit, so gravity is working with not against you. This also makes it easier to pre-terminate the ends that will be up on the tank. Just make sure to keep hold of the bundle because once gravity starts pulling it down it might not stop, although those bends will probably restrain it.

There are two large-radius bends in the conduit. We want to pull as many cat5e cables as possible. We'll need at least 18. I found this table and compared the size of UBNT Toughcable. It looks to be in the same size range as the GigaLAN Cat6E cable, about .24". Based on their table, we should be able to pull 27 cables through. How would you pull a bundle like that? What do you use to attach the cables together before pulling? Just electrical tape? Any other suggestions? There are actually two conduits, but we will need to put some coax in the second one, but should have room for a few more ethernet cables as well. -- Randy Cosby InfoWest, Inc 435-674-0165 x 2010 infowest.com This e-mail message contains information from InfoWest, Inc and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain privileged, proprietary or confidential information.
