There are both industrial and home owner cable pulling techniques. The former may involve heavy equipment and cable greasing and many people. Pulling cable on a small scale involves a snake and sometimes a pull cord. A snake is a coiled metal strip that you push through the conduit. When it comes out the other end or to a pull box you connect the wire and pull it back through the conduit. If more wire might be pulled later, also attach a pull cord so it will be left behind in the conduit for future use.
