Thanks, I hadn't considered the possible water retention in the conduit.
Yeah, I couldn't figure out why either until I was removing some old school C band satellite wire no longer needed at my home, it was run in a continuous uninterrupted run of 1 1/4" black water pipe. That wire jacket was very wet as I pulled it out..
I never had water in that pipe (it was new when installed) and both ends were protected very well from direct water intrusion.. The moisture cam from somewhere.
The plastic pipe was done just in case of a failure of the wire for easy replacement even though the wire was rated for direct burial. I learned that trick working for a big dish installer back in the 1980s.
