Agreed that it's not good if you're using it for data but if being used for
low voltage switching or control the I myself wouldn't worry however for
data I would run it away from mains.

Leave it coiled behind blanking plates, tape the ends of the T&E just

I'm trying to work out how to install at least 20 sockets at waist height
and probably another 16 at floor height in our fourth bedroom (my

there at
