Cat 6 Cable Routes

Good Morning,

Quick question, I need to route some Cat6 internally along a skirting board (can't go under the floor due to the flooring, can't go via the floor upstairs due to Artex), however along part of the route I also need to run a coax cable for my TV Aerial.

Will the two being close to each other cause interference at all?

Thanks in advance.

Very unlikely - although there is a small possibility

Ethernet could be upto 5/600MHz and TV is 470MHz upwards. Cat6 is designed to stop cross talk and to an extent external noise, and screened/shielded Cat6 would give an extra layer of protection for both and choose quality in both cases.

In my loft, I have TV/DAB/FM aerial cables coming into a distribution amp/mux and then 6 outputs on coax. On the same backboard I have a small switch, PoE injectors. Some of the cables running Gbit on unshielded Cat5e and Cat6 then run fairly close to the TV CoAx and I do not see any issues.

Hi MHC thanks for the response.

I will give it a go and come back here once it's done.

One day, when cash permits, I will have it run in the walls.
