More than that, there are laws (at least in Australia) about how data cables must be run.

Similar to how close an electrical outlet can be to a sink, there are rules about how close a data cable can be to a current-carrying cable.

In the UK CBus have CAT5 cable that's rates for installation alongside mains cables (back of lightswitches etc) https://www.cbusdirect.co.uk/cbus-product-range/cbus-cable-a...
