Re: [AFMUG] [WISPA Members] [SPAM] Cheapest way to run ethernet in conduit

[D. Ryan Spott]

We have used 
http://www.homedepot.com/p/DIG-1-2-in-x-500-ft-Poly-Drip-Tubing-B37/100163329


Lay it out on the pavement on a warm day to make it loose the twisties. 
Suck a string through with a vacuum and then pull a cable through it.


You an push cable through as well but I have never gotten more than 150 
feet before I had to cut the tube. Couplings are cheap:

We had this snaked through blackberry bushes with a healthy rodent 
population for several years. The only thing that ever got through was 
the home-owners wife pushing hot embers over the retaining wall the 
cable ran along the bottom of. Melty fun.

Hey guys,

What is the most cost effective conduit you've used for cable runs 
from a pole mount to their house. There is one run that keeps getting 
eaten through by animals and it needs to go in conduit. It's about 350 
feet and looking for the cheapest conduit possible that will hold the 
Cat5.



What are you all using and what is rough cost per foot?
What is the best way to get the cable through the conduit smoothly at 
long distances?


Thank you

[That One Guy /sarcasm]

If its rodents, they can chew through pvc pretty easy, liquitite with the
metal innards would be good but expensive, we have had alot of chewing so
we went to bbdge, they dont even seem to be interested in the outer sheath,
and couldnt get to the wire through the copper shield. I always wondered if
theyre not attracted the ethernet frequency and the copper shield sit from
them so they leave it alone
