External conduits

["Quinten Uijldert" <q.yahoogroups@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am in desperate need for cat5 going upstairs, and coax cable going
downstairs.  I was planning to get some black drain pipe and route it
through that so it doesn't look out of place on the house.  Now the
questions.  Can coax and cat5 live happily ever after inside a conduit? 
The
cat5 would be used for network (and maybe, someday, kat5).  Does the
conduit
need any lightning protection?  It's only a 2 story house, so the most that
would be on the outside is about 4m...

Q.
