Power Cables and CAT6

A friend is looking to get both power and internet into an out building.  Rather than overhead the internet via external grade CAT5 or CAT6, I said, what about using armoured CAT5 or CAT6 underground?  His response then being, can I pull both power and CAT5/CAT6 through the same underground duct?  It would be about 10 metres.


To me sounds unwise, so would appreciate comments.


Many thanks.

  • Would we consider an (Ethernet?) CAT6 cable to be a telecommunications cable? If so would the 100mm separation requirements of 528.2 for underground cables apply?
