I am trying to run CAT-5 in conduit approx 1/2 in wide. The conduit is entombed in concrete and walls of a newly built jail. there are a few 90 degree turns. The CAT-5 must be run a good distance mut not more than 30meters. The cable just wont go.... help!!!! Matt Bilbrey, MCP

Hi, Matt! If you have more than 3 turns, it will be a really hard job pulling the cable in without having installed pull boxes. In any way, find an appropriate fish tape, attach a pull string to it, pull in the pull string, attach the cable to the pull string and pull the cable. It's the only solution I have in mind.
