Sky Cable & Power Cable.

[Henryv]

Warm greetings.
I am going to install 2 'Sky HD' cables in readiness for my Sky HD box installation.
I am thinking of running it down through the airing cupboard.
Will there be any problem with interference if I run it in a conduit carrying 2 electric power cables?


Henry.

Just make sure you use good quality WF100 cable and remember that you need two runs for each Sky box.

To run extra low voltage cables (Your Coax) with low voltage cables (mains voltage) the extra low voltage cables must be rated at low voltage. (i.e. if door bell run with twin and earth it may go with mains cables but not it using the normal 0.75mm cable.) I have not looked at Coax but I expect it is not rated 300/500 volt so it would not be permitted in same conduit.

Also running two cables so close will have inductance and capacitance link and this could also mess up the Sky box.
