Cat 6 cable is placed close to a low-voltage power cable.
Hi, your situation involves connecting multiple cables in a limited space. The power cable will generate a magnetic field, which could potentially interfere with the UTP cable if they are close together. However, since the voltage is low (5-12V), the interference might be minimal. There’s no strict standard distance requirement between these types of cables, but keeping them physically separated helps ensure safety and performance.
Be cautious about disconnecting the power wire and stretching it out. The voltage typically drops quickly, so you’d likely need a significantly stronger cable to maintain performance.
