quick installation question... Andy C 04-21-2007

hi all,
is there in reality a real problem with running alarm cables (small
industrial unit, basic alarm) in the same conduit as mains cables? the runs
would be approx 10-15 metres... if so how far would they need to be
separated? i know slightly off- topic but the same question again for a
couple of cat 5 PC network cables and telephone extension cables - we're
hoping to get away with bunching everything together in the same trunking
(!) but i think someone is going to tell me no way
many thanks!
andy

:-) tell me more pls (in uk)- installers have let us down and we have to get
everything working by the end of the weekend :(
there is handy trunking already available where the mains cables have been
run- is this a definite 'no-no' if so why ?
many thanks,
andy

forgot to mention... the trunking they installed the mains cable in is
approx 4" high and 2" deep (basically runs around the skirting at floor
level), so there is room to separate all wires from the mains ones by approx
2" if this helps us...
