we also have 8awg for 40amps and 2/0 for 200amp electric serivces no u cant run low volt wires aka coax,cat5 or 3,anyting under a 120 in the same conduit as a high voltage such as 120 220 240 480 and i know this because i went to electric school and im also a broadband serivce tech for comcast here in the states
Fair enough, all I have ever seen in domestic buildings is wires not T&E type cables. Not that have looked at much building wiring in the US.
Are there any electrical rules about running power cables and non power cables in the same duct as the Original poster proposed. Certainly there are in the UK and there may be in NJ but not in FL but you are best placed to answer that.
