Can shielded cable be run in the same duct as domestic mains cables?

yes - it can.

is it a good idea - definitely not, since the insulation isnt good
enough.

is it legal - probably not, since you are not following the IEEE UK
code of practice for electricity wiring for segregation of low and
mains voltage cabling.

It's beginning to look as if every homeowner in the UK is going to need to have their electricity and heating systems certified before they are allowed to sell. It may be possible to run low voltage and mains cable in parallel, but whether it is advisable is a very different issue.


I was initially concerned about the interference to data transfer but I see the problem now with the electric itself.
