Hi,
You can get by with one pipe but the day the cord comes off whilst you're pulling or if you want to add cables when you're not taking any out it becomes a pain.
No pullies required, just a loop of rope coming out each end and going into the other pipe.
We usually put mains down one pipe and signal and network cables down the other to stop interference from the mains getting into the other stuff.
Cheers,
Paul.

Hi Paul,
Perhaps I'm oversimplifying, but isn't two pipes, with one essentially for the cord overkill. Can't you simply attach a new cord to the flex you are running through, using our good friend duct tape? Then keep the now redundant cord for "next time"?
I'm somehow imagining some integrate pulley, or block and tackle system, for something that probably won't be touched for 10 years. :)
Kind Regards,
Dave Walker
