GPS antenna cable right beside power cable?
« on: February 19, 2020, 03:24:05 pm »
To avoiding to drill to many holes in my ceiling I want to run both my GPS timing antenna RG400 coaxial cable, bundled with the 5 leads (3 phases, ground and neutral). Will it work just fine or do I have to add some extra shielding?
Even if I appear online is it not necessary so, my computer is on 24/7 even if I am not on.

GPS signal is >1GHz, mains is 50Hz.

That may well breach local electrical wiring regulations.  Check any requirements for physical separation or barriers between mains power cables and low voltage (e.g. signal) cables.
