Government Response: The new cable does need to be run inside conduit and flexible metal conduit can be used, as long as it follows code compliance.

Government Response: The responsibility would be with the contractor.

28. Confirm that quote/job is based on a maximum of 100 Cable pulls?

Government Response: Pulling new cable may not be necessary in certain locations depending on the direction the existing cable is traveling. If the coaxial cable runs from the ceiling to the existing outlet or junction box, it can be spliced and reused for a new installation because the new outlet box will be within its reach. However, if the cable runs from the floor and is too short, a new coaxial cable will need to be installed.

Government Response: Cables can be reused depending on the direction the existing cable is traveling. If the coaxial cable runs from the ceiling to the existing outlet or junction box, it can be spliced and reused for a new installation because the new outlet box will be within its reach.

However, if the cable runs from the floor and is too short, a new coaxial cable will need to be installed.
