"800.52 Installation of Communications Wires, Cables, and Equipment.
Communications wires and cables from the protector to the equipment
or, where no protector is required, communications wires and cables
attached to the outside or inside of the building shall comply with
800.52(A) through (E).
(A) Separation from Other Conductors.
(1) In Raceways, Boxes, and Cables.
(c) Electric Light, Power, Class 1, Non–Power-Limited Fire Alarm, and
Medium Power Network-Powered Broadband Communications Circuits in
Raceways, Compartments, and Boxes. Communications conductors shall not
be placed in any raceway, compartment, outlet box, junction box, or
similar fitting with conductors of electric light, power, Class 1, non–
power-limited fire alarm or medium power network-powered broadband
communications circuits.
Exception No. 1: Where all of the conductors of electric light, power,
Class 1, non–power-limited fire alarm, and medium power network-
powered broadband communications circuits are separated from all of
the conductors of communications circuits by a barrier.
Exception No. 2: Power conductors in outlet boxes, junction boxes, or
similar fittings or compartments where such conductors are introduced
solely for power supply to communications equipment. The power circuit
conductors shall be routed within the enclosure to maintain a minimum
of 6 mm (0.25 in.) separation from the communications circuit
conductors.
Exception No. 3: As permitted by 620.36."

As you can see from the above quoted material there is a prohibition
against terminating communications circuits in the same box as power
and light conductors. Yes there are exceptions but the basic rule is
there.
