data cable running along side metal trunking

[steptoe]

Hi all
I hope some one can advise on this situation
We were working in a commercial premises running data ,co ax ,HDMI and a RS 232 cables for a media system (TV monitor wireless access points and speakers) The termination cabinet for these cables was on the other side of a breeze block wall.The only gap to push these cable through the breeze block wall was next to some power trunking(box metal 4 inches) which was also running through the breeze block.The cables ran 4 inches alongside(not inside) the metal trunking through the wall with a 15-20mm gap between the trunking and the cables.The cables paired off away from the trunking upon entry and exit of the breeze block

Will this cause interference to any of the cables and is it a cause for concern

The HDMI/DVI and RS232 cable are both terminated with quite large connector block ends and we didn't have a a core cutter to drill through the breeze block hence using the gap next to the trunking, it has subsequently been flagged up

I have a photo but not directly at hand today that I will post if asked

They're just not bothered though, they just turn up to site literally throw the cables in, go through your holes in the wall, use your containment then leave 200 metres of slack above the false ceiling...most of them couldn't care less...what it looks like or anything...

This is aimed at the comment above not the OP...

You seen a ceiling void full of loose cables recently ?? Lol
