Can the shielded network cable go with the power cord?

Update Time:2025-08-14Traffic:

  It is not recommended to route the shielded network cable and power cord together. Here is a detailed explanation of this recommendation:

  Electromagnetic interference

  Power cords generate electromagnetic fields when transmitting electrical energy, and the wires in the shielded network cable may be disturbed by this electromagnetic field. This interference may cause the signal quality of the shielded network cable to decline, the speed to slow down, and even the normal transmission of data. Although the shielded network cable has a certain anti-interference ability, its anti-interference performance may be affected in the case of close contact with the power cord.

  Second, security risks

  The power cord may generate high temperatures or even cause fires when it malfunctions or short circuits. This risk will be amplified if it is connected to the same pipe or in close contact with the shielded network cable. Once there is a problem with the power cord, it may directly affect the safety of the shielded network cable, and even cause greater safety accidents.

  III. Safety standards

  In many countries and regions, there are well-defined electrical safety codes. These codes usually require that different types of cables should be arranged separately to ensure electrical safety. Running shielded network cables and power cords together can violate these safety standards, posing potential legal risks and safety hazards.

  IV. Reasonable routing suggestions

  Physical separation: Try to physically separate wires and shielded network wires by placing them in different channels or trunks to minimize physical contact between them.

  Separate routing: In order to improve routing efficiency, wires and network cables can be separated in different routing pipes. This can reduce the complexity of routing, reduce the difficulty of routing, and improve routing efficiency.

  High-quality wires: Select high-quality wires and accessories to ensure the stability and reliability of the circuit.

  Planning and design: plan and design the line before routing to ensure the smooth and reasonable direction of the line.

  In summary, in order to ensure electrical safety and network stability, it is recommended to separate the shielded network cable from the power cord. By following relevant safety standards and taking appropriate wiring measures, the advantages of these two cables can be fully utilized, bringing convenience and benefits to life and work.
