<p>From what I understand, a lot of building codes require new installations to use metal conduit in existing commercial buildings. Some places the code requires you remove the cable when you vacate the building.</p>
<p>I taught structured cabling for a couple years.</p>

Are you sure about that? I think that there is a requirement that you<br>
use the plastic wiring grommets to prevent the cable from getting<br>
roached while pulling it. Putting conduit inside of a existing metal<br>
stud wall would be a massive PITA....<br>
