I live in a one-story ranch with an unfinished basement and attic, in the middle of a project where I’ll have access to a bare, un-drywalled wall. I know that eventually I’ll want to run low voltage/Ethernet cable from the basement out to my attached garage, probably through the attic as the garage is only separated from the rest of the attic by Sheetrock.

I just don’t know how much Ethernet cable I’ll be wanting to run.

I think conduit would probably be the best for traversal/future proofing this, but I have no clue what kind to get.

Any suggestions? Things I should look out for?

    Or, run some smaller gauge wire with the cat5 so that you can use it later to pull more through easily. (The wire you pull through later should also have some small gauge wire attached, for the next time)
