To answer points raised in some of your replies the cable will be a CAT 5
internal computer cable that will be used to push the incoming feed to my
computer room. Three pairs will be used. One pair will be used for the
main line, which will be terminated on a master line jack with a built in
filter. Pair 2 will push the line back to where it started to connect up
with the rest of the existing house wiring. Pair 3 will be used for a
second business line leaving pair 4 spare. I already have this arrangement
up and running but the wiring runs across a porch that is about to be built
so I need to bury the cable.


The reason for not laying the cable direct in concrete is that I have a fear
that over the years the concrete could have a detrimental affect on the
cable and as the underground bit will be only around 4ft until it enters the
garage I prefer to play safe and run it in conduit.

Many thanks everyone for your input.

It wont, but conduit does give the advantage that you can run anything
else down there if you ever want to in future.
