A conduit is a medium to transfer energy between two points. They are often built into walls of habitat areas.

On Cardassian space stations, consuits are accompanied by Jeffries tube-like crawlspaces, which run throughout the station. These crawlspaces are lined with duranium alloy, which prevents them from being scanned by sensors. This once allowed Major Kira Nerys to fool a Cardassian warship into thinking Deep Space 9 had 5,000 photon torpedoes when in fact it only had six. (DS9: "Emissary") It also allowed a group of Starfleet officers to hide from the Bajoran Militia during a siege of the station in an attempted coup d'etat by the Alliance for Global Unity. (DS9: "The Siege")

Miles O'Brien and Benjamin Sisko once crawled their way through a conduit to disable the self-destruct program that threatened the station s part of the counter-insurgency program they had accidentally activated. (DS9: "Civil Defense")

While trapped inside his mind, which he visualized as DS9, Julian Bashir attempted to use the conduits to reach Ops. However, the telepathic attack he had suffered caused him to continually re-emerge on the Promenade. (DS9: "Distant Voices")

Quark once decided to assemble an all-Ferengi team to rescue his mother Ishka from the Dominion. He had to find his brother Rom, who was on duty at the time and working in one of the station's conduits. After informing Rom of the situation, Quark got lost and found upon opening the hatch at the end of a conduit that he had reached Captain Sisko's office. (DS9: "The Magnificent Ferengi")
