coax and power cables running together?

[deefadog]

Is there a certain distance i should keep standard coax & rg59 cable from a 240V (13Amp) cable? or will it not inerfear with the signal?


I have a few coax & 13Amp cabling running together (previous owner) - should i seperate them?

Thanks

Thanks, i had a feeling they should be seperated, 50mm is not to bad though.

50mm separation need not be maintained, provided that:
(i) the LV cables are enclosed in separate conduit which if metallic is earthed in accordance with BS7671, or
(ii) the LV cables are enclosed in separate trunking which if metallic is earthed in accordance with BS7671, or
(iii) the LV cable is of the mineral insulated type or is of earthed armoured construction.
