Hello,

I am planning on running an outdoor rated Cat 6 cable from my loft down to the garage at the end of my garden to a cctv camera or switch.

The cable run I wish to use is next to a 240v SWA cable that runs down the back of the house under the flower bed and down to the garage.

The cat6 I have is this :


Is this suitable to run alongside the existing SWA which powers my garage?

The cat 6 is outdoor rated and double insulated and the SWA is obvs fully protected so I am not sure if this will cause an issue? The cable run is about 20 meters.

Many thanks,

Jack
 
Purists would say it's best to avoid running signal cables alongside power cables.
Realistically - "it'll be fine" :)
