Temporary aerial cabling tween buildings- Arnco flex tubing?

Feb 04, 2005 1 Replies

Customer wants temporary cabling between two buildings (about 30 feet apart). They plan to trench later this year so this is supposed to be "temporary". I need to put up a couple of cat5e right now, but I just found out that one tenant will want to add more stuff soon (50pr cat3 and a couple more cat5e). I found some aerial tubing that looks like a great idea (flex tube with an aerial cable attached). It's called Strand-guard Flexcor by Arnco. That seems like a good idea.



I would like to find a source for this or something similar in small lengths. One source I found only mentioned reels of 2400 ft, while I only need about 50 ft.



Is this something electrical supply houses might have? I will be making phone calls tomorrow but I figure someone here might have a quicker or better solution.



Thanks Charles
