Planning to install 110V power inside the trim area of my house? I’ll also run six DisplayPort cables and one Ethernet Cat 6 about 4 inches behind the trim. Could the 110V affect the Ethernet or DisplayPort connections? Thanks! Grant

Since the Ethernet and DP cables are properly shielded, problems shouldn't occur. In the workplace, they use Ethernet cables in the same tray as 480V 3-phase power wires without any issues. The last problem I remember was with a non-shielded cable.

If they're protected well, issues shouldn't arise. As long as you avoid using cheap dollar store cables and CCA ethernet wires, everything should work.

I see you've got a non-shielded cable with copper-clad aluminum. It might work for basic use, but consider shielding for better performance and safety. Thanks for reaching out—your questions are appreciated!

CCA performs poorly beyond about 20 feet and shouldn't be used with power over Ethernet.

I recommend considering a replacement Ethernet cable for your setup. The current configuration suggests potential signal issues over longer distances, especially with the 110 operating at 2 inches from the Ethernet port.

For that length of distance, it's best to choose another cable.

Shielded ethernet works best when your switch is properly grounded while most unmanaged switches aren’t. Shielding is usually needed for wall-mounted devices since they can be grounded there. The DP tends to face more issues, especially with longer cables or higher resolutions. I experienced reliability issues with HDMI at 1080p over 16 feet next to Ethernet, likely due to distance rather than interference. It’s best to keep it separate from the 110 and use converters or boosters if you need it beyond a few feet.
