A small thing.
Usually, in arrangements like this, there is a 90 degree angle to be
negotiated.
In my current shack, I actually have two accesses. I did 4 inch conduit
for both so there is comfortable room for several cables and more than I
have planned.
On one of them, however, I put in a standard 90 degree "angle" pipe between
the "down" pipe and the horizontal one. The cable had trouble negotiating
that and I'm a little uncomfortable about adding new cable there. I could
do it, but I won't like it.
The second one I got smarter and put in two 135 degree pipes (usually
called "45 degrees" for some reason) and a short length of pipe
in-between. So, you have a "graceful" 90 degree bend.
It is downright trivial and easy to pass cables over that stretch and I
recommend it if you have the space (you probably do).
