i have always wondered that how water can get into a duct when its supposedly sealed and the ends come in the building?

When it's stored outside, when it's transported, etc.

You've missed the obvious one - Buggerance factor

It only gets in when you least need it.

good 8 core duct cable available from Newey&Eyre 7-2-8C PVC/twbc/PVC pvc braided steel Armour PVC then norm 8 core in side we have used lengths up to 500m but sure you can get longer if req not to expencive

it's very expensive, it's about

hi all,

on long runs armoured my present simular problems to screened cable, as the pF value could be degrading to any multitplexed signal, so if room allows it i'll always go for toughest uPVC conjuit. also allows for an extra cables to be run at the same time or later due to oversight perhaps, in standard cable so pro rata a lot cheaper than a single armoured.

You can we just did at a job for cctv cables and alarm cables app 25m 100m duct we should have had own duct but only draw wire in duct with swa and water main !!! so we drew 2 -20m marshal tuffflex flex conduit through and then pulled cctv in one and alarm in other bit of a job but easer than digging another duct in .
