If you're wanting to future proof, run conduit not just wires. For now a setup like that is overkill and probably straight up won't work well, since roaming is a client decision and the clients make really silly choices sometimes.

Yep! once everything runs on fiber or USB C, you can easily pull more wires to that location!

I keep seeing this brought up but I can't find information on how they work. How do you actually get new wire through a conduit? Do they not get stuck in corners? Or on the ridges of the tubes? What if you need to send wires upwards?

A pull string is typically vacuumed though the conduit and left inside for attaching to and pulling wires through.

Pull a pull string in the conduit along with the wires.

When you pull new cable you use the existing pull string and pull a new pull string through the conduit at the same time; this was you still have a pull string.
