If you have the CAT 5 socket mounted on a metal box then siting it next to
the mains socket should cause no problem, not right next to it say about
75mm away. You must run the CAT 5 cables away from the mains ones.

You should earth all metal boxes and fit rubber grommets, connecting it to
the socket is a good way to do this, don't forget the socket back box
should
also be earthed not just the earth connection on the back of the socket
itself.
