When choosing rope to pull through with your cables, use a plaited or woven 
rope, not one where the strands have been twisted during manufacture.

A twisted construction rope will tend to untwist as you apply a load to 
pull it through the conduit, thereby twisting itself around the cable it is 
being pulled with. It makes for great difficulties when you wish to pull 
that extra and urgently needed cable through.
