Chris, First, if there is an open 4" conduit, you'd never want to run a cable by itself --that'd be considered a major waste of the conduit investment in place. Instead, the proper thing would be to install 3 to 4 PVC innerducts. These are generally about 1.5" OD and can be ordered with pull string.
You can also install innerduct without string, then blow string in or use long fish tape or fiber glass router to thread the duct. Blowing requires a little tool, but one can be fashioned with a good shop vac. You'll need a "mouse," which is a foam and plastic piece with an eye to thread a lightweight line. Blow or suck the mouse through with the line attached, then use the light line to pull in the heavier pull string or rope.

There are 4" conduits connecting each facility. The conduits are bare, Id like to run fiber in them, and there are no pull cords in them. Some are several hundred yards long. Ive heard that you can blow a cable through a conduit. Can anyone enlighten me on equipment/technique for this application?
