Outdoor wall conduit

    Can anyone recommend outdoor cable conduit for running cat cables between the house and an outbuilding.
    I'm converting a stable into an office so need to run a load of cables, cat 6 for the backhaul, cat 5e for cameras and some coax for tv, between them.
    Have 2" electrical ducting run from the shed to the table wall of the house but I cannot run the cables up the cavity as it's pumped with insulation.
    I need to run it up the wall and break through into the attic do it needs to look best (and white to match the downpipes).
    I'll ask in the electrical forum as well as it's the more obvious place but I'll chance someone here has done similar.

    For the vertical bit on the house, you could put in an extra down pipe to merge in the look with your existing downpipe

    That's not the worst idea I've heard, will look in the local hardware this week as I'd be sure that's where what is there came from

    MYMJ is not really an outdoor cable as it is not UV resistant.

    The same applies to CAT5 / 6, as in they are not UV resistant. Once shielded from sunlight and provided with sufficient protection by trunking, conduit, drain pipe or other means these cables will be fine outdoors.
