[Shop-talk] communications cable to garage

[Pat Horne]

Rich,

I needed to run several CAT-5 and RG6 cables to my shop, about 180' by 
cable length from the house. I ran a 1.25" conduit between the 
buildings, then ran regular cables through it. One reason I went this 
route is that in the futures there may be need to run another type of 
cable between the buildings, and I didn't want to have to bury a new 
cable. With the conduit I can use one of the old cables as a pull wire 
to pull the new wire in.

Peace,
Pat
