Minimal distance between network and power cable

[Maximus]

Hi everyone,

I'd just like to know what the minimum recommended distance is between a standard network cable (Cat5 I think) and a standard shielded power cable.

Thx in advance!

Depends on how long you are running them next to each other...

I reckon about 10meters max.

Then you can even run them next to each other, if its just a normal single power cable and not some thick, heavy current thing...

It's just a plain old 230V power cable, nothing hectic. Thx
