Video and audio cables... Don't mix?


Do you think I’ll wind up with trouble if I run both audio (speaker cables) & video (HDMI & RCA/S), in the same square conduit (channel)?

The speaker cables are Canare 4S11.

All the wires will be together for about 10 – 11 ft. then the video cables will split off to the PJ.

Or is it really necessary to just run two channels… which is my guess… but not my wish.

I ask only because I’ve heard talk that the Cannare cables geometry is not conducive to exuding or recovering interference, generally speaking.

Lastly, has anyone seen plastic or rubberish, flexible rectangular conduit or channel? I need to span a couple places where rigid conduit simply won’t do. The gap/span overall, is about 8 inches in total.

Thanks very much…

You might try creating a hollow beam or molding arrangement so the conduits can be hidden by decor. Instead of trying to hide it, make it an attractive feature. Of course, I, myself, have snakes of wires running around my room, but advice is easy.
