PaulsonLaw 0 Posted January 6, 2012 So, "they" say that running 120v 14/2UG along side the conduit which carries 1 cat5 STP for 4 cameras @ 300' will cause EMI & jack the picture???? I really cannot see this from what I researched, laying conduit & 14/2 in the morning if anyone knows..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted January 6, 2012 Depends largely if you're using PVC or EMT - the latter will provide a good bit of shielding. No type of wiring is 100% impervious to induced noise, but twisted pair does a lot better because of the twists... baluns help more by creating a balanced line. Part of it, too, will depend on the amount of current the 14/2 is carrying - the more current, the larger the EM field it generates, the more likely noise will be induced in other nearby wires. If all it's powering is a couple coach lanterns, you could probably strap the two wires together without issue. If it's running something like a gate motor, any interference it DID cause, you'd only see when the gate was operating... And so on. Of course, it depends who "they" are, too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
