First post and a big hello to all :)
So here it goes........ I'm in the middle of a domestic rewire in a large, old house. Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, high rise ceilings, that sort of thing. I have plenty of domestic experience but very little in commercial and industrial.
I understand cat 5 cannot be run with 240v cable and has to be separate. Some of these runs are around 30metres long, under floor boards, through aticks and stud walls.
What is the recommended distance between 240v and cat 5/ coax cable?
Any tips and advice, do's and don'ts would be more than appreciated.

Thanks in advance to anyone taking the time to reply.
 
cat 5 is not difficult but as the others have stated above be a little gentle with it
keep in mind you can get shielded cabling but its still a good practice to follow the rules about distance from load circuits
here are the color schemes for cat5 cat5.jpegcat5.png
