System and method of installing communication cables using rodder end attachments

A method for installing a communication cable in a high voltage conduit containing one or more energized high voltage cables, the method comprising:

• inserting a first duct funnel into the high voltage conduit at a first location, wherein the high voltage conduit carries the one or more energized high voltage cables to a second location;
• inserting a first duct rodder through the first duct funnel into the high voltage conduit;
• pushing the first duct rodder through the high voltage conduit towards the second location;
• in response to the first duct rodder being impeded in the high voltage conduit, retracting the first duct rodder and attaching a loop attachment to the first duct rodder;
• reinserting the first duct rodder through the first duct funnel into the high voltage conduit;
• inserting a second duct rodder through a second duct funnel into an opposite end of the high voltage conduit, the second duct rodder having a hook attachment;
• engaging the hook attachment of the second duct rodder with the loop attachment of the first duct rodder;
• retracting the second duct rodder from the high voltage conduit to pull the first duct rodder through the high voltage conduit;
• attaching a communication cable to an end of the first duct rodder at the second location;
• and
• pulling the communication cable to the first location by retracting the first duct rodder and extracting the first duct rodder from the high voltage conduit.
