Cable Routing

Is there any disadvantage to routing CAT 5e UTP alongside a shower cable
(rated at 20amp I think) for a 5 or 6 metre stretch?

For me that would be the easiest option but would obviously try and avoid it
if it was really detrimental to the performance.

cheers

Steven.

It should be at least 12 inches away from any mains cable.

Running alongside Satellite cable ok?
Crossing over mains cable ok?

cheers

My home network crosses a couple of mains cables and I've had no problems.

Because otherwise it won't work so well.

OK. But why?

The perceived wisdom is that voltage spikes caused by switching a power
connection can interfere with the ethernet signal, but I just found
something that suggests that this effect is negligible:

Interesting. I've always struggled to understand how 50Hz+spikes
would have a significant interference effect on twisted pair (=
high common-mode interference rejection) cable carrying Ethernet (=
10MHz or higher).

I can accept that data and power cabling should be separated from
an electrical safety perspective - to reduce the probability of the
meltdown of a power cable feeding mains up your LAN or phone or
whatever.
