Question: Gentlemen,I was wondering if it is permissable to run Coaxial TV Cable (RG6) in the same conduit with Data cables (Cat. 6). Would there be any interference? Please advise.Thanks in advance!--Dutch

Yes, it is permissible to run RG6 coaxial TV cable and Cat 6 data cables in the same conduit. There should be no interference between the two types of cables as long as they are properly installed.- Use a conduit that is large enough to accommodate both cables without overcrowding. This will help to prevent interference between the cables.- Separate the two types of cables within the conduit using a cable separator. This will help to keep the cables organized and prevent them from touching each other.- Use high-quality cables and connectors. This will help to ensure a strong signal and minimize interference.- Test the cables before using them. This will help to ensure that they are working properly.By following these tips, you can safely run RG6 coaxial TV cable and Cat 6 data cables in the same conduit. Flag for review
