I know there are many people on here who have more experience and knowledge about this than I, so I’m hoping someone could help me with his and tell me how far I need to keep my ethernet cable away from a TEK cable when being run parallel to each other (about 75’ distance)
I’m wanting to install a WiFi extender in my gazebo and I was going to run the outdoor rated Ethernet cable along side the 120V TEK cable. I know running network cable parallel with VAC is generally not a good idea but I’m not sure how far I will need to separate the two cables since the TEK cable construction includes the spiral metal enclosure. Will that shield the EMF well enough to not cause me any issue with my network if they are strapped together or am I asking for trouble?
I have just shy of 300meters outdoor gel filled Ethernet cable that I wanted to use for this, but I don’t recall it having a shield incorporated in it. I would like to avoid having to buy shielded cable if possible.
Thanks.
