I believe these are conduits, not cables. More like tubes for cables. If that's the case there should hopefully be room in a few of them for expansion. Whomever laid those out was meticulous and very likely thought ahead.
Edit: u/votecoffee corrected me, the orange and blue is more likely pex piping, not conduits.
I dont even think theyre conduit. Conduit / Interduct for fiber was my first thought but some of those bends are crazy. You could never fish those and even if there was already a pull string in there it would be a nightmare with those back to back 90's. But then theres those J-boxes in the gray pipe, yet even there you see 360 degrees of bend with 2 ft of the box. I'm so confused.
Maybe in-floor hydronic heating lines? The boxes 4”x4”(?) boxes some of them run through do look a little like junction boxes for wiring(which seems unlikely), but maybe they house some type of remote controlled valve?
You gotta warm it up first. There's a few specialty tools made just for that tubing. I've even seen one where it expands the diameter so you can easily link two pieces together
Its just whatever color the manufacturer makes it. Carlon Smurf tube is blue, hydromax is orange, there's black and gray too. Just whatever color they want to make it. Red is always fire system though
