Smurf tubes are great, but plugs like on Cat5 or HDMI cables get easily hung up while pulling cables. The ones you link above look smoother than the ones I've had the (dis)pleasure of working with, which were ribbed, making snags frequent & annoying, especially at any sort of 90 degree bend. It's still significantly easier (and safer) than blind runs through walls.
- soylentcola 3y agoAt least for cat5/6, wouldn't you be cutting and terminating once they're pulled? Never thought about pulling one of those with the connector on - for the reason you mentioned, but also just because you might not know how much cable you'll need until it's all finished. I'd imagine HDMI would be mostly shorter runs (or using cat5/6 extenders) due to the limits/requirements of the cable.
