Question:

Running electrical wires and cable wires?

I am putting in a new TV and I am running all new wires through the wall including electrical and cable, can these two wires run next to each other, or will that cause any kind of interference??

Answer:

Unless you're installing this TV in a motor vehicle, you're in the wrong category. Why not look for a better place to ask your questions.
It depends. There are various kinds of Cat 5 cables. There is the Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and the Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cat 5 cables. If youre running parallel to electrical wires, you may want to consider the STP cables as UTP as susceptible to electromagnetic interference.
