I am running a conduit for star link cable. It looks like 3/4 emt will fit the cable and connector just fine. I plan on using LB's. Does anyone have recommendations on size? and are LB's Ok? A google search found nothing.

Thanks,

Luke

it'll fit in 3/4", but if you're making longer runs, you'll want to segment the installation and run the cable through as you assemble the conduit. For longer runs I'd use 1".

The cable is is STP Cat5 with a rubberized outer jacket, but it has a funky right-angle connector that looks similar to USB-C. You have to turn it at an angle to get it in the conduit and very carefully pull it; the cable will jam against the head if you try to push it.
