Don't run your Ethernet cables next to power lines — here's why

Running Ethernet cable seems straightforward enough. Drill holes, pull wire, crimp the ends, and you’re done. I ran Ethernet to over a dozen spots in my basement when we finished the space, and I thankfully remembered not to run them right next to power cables. Cable routing deserves way more attention than I gave it. The category printed on the jacket matters, sure. So do your connectors and how well you terminate them.
