![]() I keep the RG-6 coax runs in separate conduit from the UTP runs. Hmm.. Why? Shouldn't be any effect either way. Reduces problems (you never know who will follow you) with pulling future RG-6 cables. Also the bend radius tolerances are different. IF UTP cables are within same pathway the pulling crew has to be more gentle and careful. I see.. I never had to work with multiple different types in one pull. Now if you have ever worked a large cabling installation ... you know that words "gentle" and "careful" are a foreign language terms to many cabling pulling crews. VBG! Yes, pull till it parts, and then back off a little. There was this time in the Ala-Moana building, when I was installing coax for video from the first to the 25th floor. We decided to to it from the top down, so somewhere along the way, threading the cables down the core, the end cap came off. A couple floors later, when we went down to take it the next level, we found the raw end sticking inside the cage that surrounds the 440VAC busbars. The other end of the cable was already connected, so that would have been rather exciting on many levels! Although when I have traveled with these crews .. they referred to the airline baggage handlers (pre-9/11) as gorillas (former TV ad of a logistics company). I saw a UAL baggage handler slam a suitcase down on the belt so hard once, that his feet left the ground. I rarely put anything more damagable than clothes in my bags anymore. |
