Discuss 240V AC Mains rated CAT6 ethernet cable? Avoids segregation... like CBus pink CAT5 cable? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Hello

I have recently discovered Cbus pink Cat5 / Cat5E cable.

My interest started after finding out about EV-Ultra Cable, designed for electric vehicle charge points. They run power and data in the same cable. My understanding is allowed due to the data cable sheathing being rated to same level as the power.

From the CBus manufacturer:
"The pink outer sheathing of the CBus CAT5 cable is rated to 240V AC as it may, for short runs, be routed into a switchboard close to mains cable."

I want to run ethernet along side power cables.
I am not too concerned about interference, but getting shielded Cat6 or better seems worth it.

Is there anything similar but for Cat6 or better?

Thanks
 
You can get CAT-6 SWA stuff and with the armour glanded/earthed would be fine alongside practically anything but it is expensive and inflexible.
