Rigid conduit is essentially galvanized plumbing pipe. Very rare in new 
construction other than for overhead electrical service entrance. It's 
extremely heavy and difficult to work with. As its name suggests, it's 
quite rigid. Not easily bent or cut and needs to be threaded.

Innerduct or ENT is far less expensive and orders of magnitude easier to 
deal with for low voltage applications.
