Have you brought up an interim fix - either clip the ties and support the
cat5 bundle off the conduits? OR untie it, wrap the bundles with common
aluminum foil (yeah it works) and then retie them using looser cable ties?
Might be a nice way to pick up a few extra bucks on a weekend and make them
happy at the same time.
