I'm using that Yellow ethernet coax on all my antennae... got around 
about 5km of the stuff FOC about 6 years back!!

I've used 4" "Polypipe" Underground tube before now (the brown stuff), 
and terminated each end with a 90deg elbow. Then, once the feeders are 
in, squirt either end with a liberal portion with expanding foam. Kept 
the wet stuff out for me, and if you need to add/remove feeders at a 
later date, then it can be "mullered" and sucked out easily enough.

Cheers,
