There are both Aluminum and Steel products available http://www.homedepot.com/p/AFC-Cable-Systems-3-4-in-x-100-ft-Flexible-Aluminum-Conduit-5603-30-AFC/204847343 http://www.homedepot.com/p/AFC-Cable-Systems-1-2-in-x-100-ft-Flexible-Steel-Conduit-5502-30-AFC/204847339 http://www.homedepot.com/p/AFC-Cable-Systems-3-8-in-x-100-ft-Flexible-Steel-Conduit-5501-30-AFC/205070919 3/4" should fit 4 or maybe 5 shielded cat5e cables. It looks like, from the specs, a single shireen 5e shielded cable would fit with about .2" extra room in the 3/8" version. Shaun, what are your thoughts of liquid tight vs standard? Which do you use?
