Per Rob's comment, bigger pipe. 40mm with 10 cat 5 runs will be very difficult to get any more cable into later on if you want to. And the cars wire/rope should be tough so it doesn't snap the first time you use it!
Coordinate the pipe install with the folks doing the slab for the garage, other wise they might just cut it off at ground level while you're at work!!!

Use the largest size you can afford and definitely large radius bends (not elbows) and run a drw wire so you can pull more in later if needed. Rob On 21 January 2014 09:50, C.

At the moment, I have a bunch of cat5 cables running around the edge of the property to the garage. Currently tied to the underneath of a fence rail, so off the ground. They're also a bit manked up due to earthquakes and bricks, and the dog's masticatory antics. So I want to properly wire some ties to the garage - I use two for ethernet data and three for analogue feeds, so 8-10 runs seems like good future-proofing. I'm thinking some lengths of 40mm PVC drainpipe buried, with a large radius elbow at each end. We're due a new driveway and a new garage according to the poxy insurance company, so putting this underneath beforehand makes a lot of sense. Any comments? Do I need to go outdoor rated gel-cables ? Or regular cables should be OK (which is what's in use now.) Wireless is not a solution, see previous post :) -- CF _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users -- Robert Fisher
