Hi all,
Need some additional advice. I'm laying power and data lines to my observatory. I have heard that laying them in the same condoit will cause interferance. How far apart should I lay both the power and data condoit?

My last obs I had 120vac and Cat 5 twisted pair in the same conduit. No interference. 100Mbps without a hitch. The twisted pair cancels out any electrical noise that might be present from the ac line.
