Re: RG6 next to power?



I don't think it violates code but good wiring pactices would keep the
low voltage cable at least 12" from the power cables and cross at 90
degrees when needed.  That said, if these are high quality RG6 cables
you probably won't see a difference with the cameras. If it's not too
late, ask him to observe the 12" rule.
