Can I run this coax cables through this patress box?

[2617426174]

I've ran a coax cable through the trucking and patress box containing 230v dual gang socket. It's a satellite feed so does have 18v switching PS from the receiver. Is there anywhere in bs 7671 that says this isnt aloud?

I would say any cables run in the same containment or accessory as 230V cables should have the same insulation level as the 230V cables.

I would at least remove it from the socket back box. Maybe a separate piece of trunking up to the coax outlet.

What size cable is feeding that 13Amp twin socket?

it might contravene a regulation or 2, but it's not going to cause any problems electrical wise. could be a possibility of interference on the signal though.

Why didn’t you put it through the back of its own box, anyway? Not that it matters in the big scheme of things.

it depends on what satalite cable it is and weather it is rated for a high enough voltage.

cables running together down trunking or through the same enclosures should ALL have a voltage rating that is higher than the voltage expected on any circuit contained in the same trunking.
below are 2 cable spec sheets for what look to be the same cable from a quick glance.

however note the difference in voltage ratings of the 2.

you need to check what the voltage rating of the cable you have used is.

As others have said , the cables should be insulated to the highest voltage present (band 1 and band11) if installed in the same containment or installed in tight close proximity.
see regulation 528.1
