Well, I ran some 20mm galvanised steel conduit
from
the barge board (access to lft) to about a foot above ground level (access
to
back of newly fitted dual back box) earlier this year to carry my TV and FM
aerial downleads.
Thanks to Mark CAT5 Flipping McCall and you
lot
with all your bargains (DDAR, TiVo, Book PC) I took the plunge and started
cabling with CAT5. I have spent ALL afternoon getting the RG59
downleads
out (going to cable tie CT100 to the conduit instead) and running 4 x CAT5
down
it. It was a real sod because it's about 5m in length (no bends
thankfully) and I had to feed the bundle of CAT5s down a few inches at a
time on
my own.
Of course, 20mm conduit restricts you to at
maximum
4 x CAT5 (fewer if it has bends, believe me), and you need a special
threading
(as possibly bending) tool. It looks OK though. Mark Harrison
has
used ventilation ducting (bathroom/kitchen extractor fan stuf) and you can
get
LOTS of CAT5 in it :)
