FWIW, If you're looking for specific products, you might look for something
called "Yellow 77". It's one of many products used when pulling cables
(remember the old 25 pair cables for the old 6-button phone systems?).

Keep it off of your hands, or you'll have to tie the cable to your waist to
get enough grip for a good pull. The feel of this stuff on one's hands is
one of the more disgusting textures I've ever experienced.
