VThis is how I tie the pull string to the cable to do the Big Pull. Everything stated by the other member is spot on. Blow out or suck...

VThe boxes may need to be removed to facilitate pulling/pushing cable. I used a similar pull string and didn’t require a separate pull...

VVirga replied to the thread Long outdoors netwok cable run.Thanks - will definitely terminate all pairs. Once I mobilize, may as well be done with it for future flexibility. Even in one person's...
