Hello DIY'ers
Perhaps off-topic for this group, sorry if it is, but I can't find a better one!
We need an extra CAT5 socket in an office. Have added extra ones before, so tools and the networking know-how is not a problem.
Now, to where we want the socket to go, there is trunking going all the way from the network cabinet already. This trunking has no CAT5 in it, it contains standard 2.5 mains cable. Is it legal to put a length of CAT5 in the trunking along with the mains cable, and tap it out where we need the CAT5 socket? The trunking is 16mm x 25mm, there's plenty space to put CAT5 in there.
I realise it being sited right next to mains cable may have an adverse effect on speed, but this aside, is it an option?
Thanks everyone.
