I just got a job for about 20 cat6 and 20 cat5 runs. Customer wants to put everythig into coduits because it's an open ceiling loft. He's thinking standard electrical conduit, but 40 runs coming from the telephone closet seems pretty damned big to me. I was suggesting 2 seperate conduits one for voice and one for data.

Also, are there any issues with puting cat6 pvc into metal coduit? What is the recommended minimum bend on cat 6?

From those of you who've worked with cat6 what brand patch and jacks would you recomend?
