| I've read where you don't want to run 120AC lines next to low voltage due to interference (i.e. for phone lines, Ethernet, etc) I'm installing 24V undercabinet lighting, using a dimable transformer. I want to run a couple low voltage lines to a wall switch to enable turning on/off my 2 zones of lights (i.e. these would be 24V lines out of the transformer, passing through a switch before they get to their zone). I currently have them routed through one wall stud with 2 120AC lines. Should I reroute them, to be further away from each other? Does it matter for this application (i.e. not a phone or ethernet line). It's high-quality low voltage wire, fully jacketed for in-wall use. |

| You're talking 24VAC? No problems. |

| "next to" is not a problem. In the same conduit requires all insulation be rated to the highest voltage preset. |
