Thanks for your thoughts.

You need to pull all the communication cables out and
run them separately. Running them in the same conduit,
or chase as somebody said, is asking for interference
problems. If they are run in the same chase they should
be shielded from the power cables by a metal shield.


Coax is already shielded. Some other cables (such as Cat5) aren't
shielded, but protected by other means (twisted pair).
