Got two conduits going out to the garden shed: one for AC, the other

Now I want to run coax for a TV antenna out there so that I can mount
the antenna on the wall of the garden shed and route the signal back
to the house (making it basically trivial to make adjustments to the
antenna - as opposed to having to climb up on to the roof of the
house).

Which conduit would you choose to share the coax with: AC or
Ethernet?

FWIW, it is not out of the question to retire the Ethernet and
dedicate the conduit to the coax - because I put that conduit in
before discovering radio links like Ubiquiti's NanoStation Loco M5
(http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-LOCOM...dp/B004EHSV4W),
which I now have some experience with in another application.

I'd just do that - except it involves laying out $150 for a set of
those devices.

I doubt that code allows low voltage and AC in the same coax. Coax and ethernet
should not be a problem.




Agree 100% plus the AC could very possibly interfere with the signal.


BTW: As far as grounding goes...to prevent a possible induction loop
it's best to ground only at the feed end. (At least that is how I was
taught when we installed industrial grade UPS's .)
