vagrantly3893 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Hello, I am burying a fiber optic cable so I have internet in my garage. I have purchased the following flexible conduit to run the fiber optic cable inside: Diameter of the Kabuflex 40 mm. *Inner diameter: 32 mm. https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/aw/d/B07CRQ2DQW?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title I have dug a 20m trench 60cm deep. What I need advice on is the transition from inside to outside. I don't want to drill a hole in the external wall large enough to feed to conduit through. I assume I need a junction box and adapter on the outside of the wall that the conduit connects with? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 You can get “ends” for flexi conduit but they are usually pretty poor and pull out, easier to run the conduit straight into an adaptable box (Ty wrap or tape on inside to stop it pulling back out) and then go through back of that through the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yes that the sort of thing, Ty wrap is a cable tie or push conduit into box through hole and wrap tape around the end then pull back so tape prevent conduit pulling back through hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
