I am building a new home and am currently in chats with our builder about how their electrician ran the ethernet cable in our build.
There are long runs (10+feet) of cat 5e running directly on top of 120v electrical wiring.
He believes this is fine as long as the runs aren't greater than 10 feet. All of the searching so far states that unshielded ethernet needs to have around a foot between it and any electrical wiring it is paralell to. I can't find the actual electrical code to reference here. Does anybody know what section of the NEC I can refer to for this?
We paid for this upgrade and I already have to swallow that they used cat 5e instead of cat 6. I would like them to space out the runs from the electrical so that interference is minimized.
Is this a hill worth dying on? There are literal bundles of wires with ethernet and electrical twisted together. It is ludicrously poor workmanship.
