This was put in the electrical course, is all of this true?

In another life I installed network cabling and we made it a point to keep it as far away from high voltage wires as possible, specifically to minimize interference to the data signals.

For clarity, please define what you/they (we) considered “High Voltage”.

That is pretty much still the standard, at least 2" of separation and cables crossing at right angles or perpendicular to each other. I’m pretty sure with digital technology it really doesn’t matter that much anymore.

Digital signals and information are still sent on an analog carrier wave of AC or DC. Some are as low as 5 volts, which can even more readily be affected by high-voltage EMF’s.

I agree that in some cases it is possible. With regard to the Class 2 AC transformers in this thread it is not going to be an issue.

Well that’s pretty simple in the realm in which we work as HI. Typical house current, 110 to 220v.

And being an ass doesn’t change that.

Yeah, I really wish you would stop being one!

You obviously didn’t read my prior post(s) above, or is it that you couldn’t fully comprehend it?

I’ll try! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
