If you use SWA cable for the mains, then you can clip CAT5 cable directly
to
it with no separation. Otherwise, you should aim for 50mm air gap or
insert
a non-conductive spacer. Why not use some PVC mini trunking without the
lid
as a 'cable tray' for the mains - similar to
http://www.screwfix.com/product.phtml?9624
Personally, I'd go with SWA - but you will need glands at either end, IP54
for internal connections, and IP66 if made externally.
Also run more CAT5 than you think - I know someone who installed loads -
but
still not enough ;)
