conduit;; line layout

The Kabelzug explanation is the definition of conduit (Concise Oxford).
Literally Kabelzug comes from Kabel=cable, + Zug from Ziehen, pull or draw. Cables are pulled into these empty pipes for protection underground.
Trasse is defined as line layout in Ernst,Richard: Dictionary of Engineering and Technology. Trassenn"ahe"=near the(laid-out/buried)lines

conduit, routing

'...installing cable in conduit with different routing...' - leere Rohre fuer Kabel, sei es Telefon oder Fernsehkabel, werden als conduit bezeichnet; Trassenfuehrung ist doppelt gemoppelt, und ich wuerde es mit routing uebersetzen. HTH

conduit run

I would translate as follows:
"...the laying of [fiber-optic] cables in conduits with different runs..."

[equipment] "adjacent to the conduits"

Just because the German has an explanatory apposition,(Kabelzügen), doesn't mean that one is reuired in
English. Sinmilarly, "Trasse" means
"route", but it is probably not necessary to clutter up the English sentence by saying "conduit route". What is important, is that the stuff next to the lines will not interfer with the communication.
