Power Cables and CAT6

AncientMariner
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.

    Probably stating the obvious here and you have considered this but maybe the internet connection could be provided using a WIFI Extender ie TP Link as it's only 10m away. 

    Just a thought Clive 




    This method has a greater time delay (latency) over direct wiring; OK if you accept that..
