    Electrical and phone

    Recommended parallel spacing is 6". Besides, you don't want hum in your phone. OK to cross perpendicular.

    Did you drill the holes or did the Electrician ? A lot of Electricians are not keen on drilling

    Holes for other people, plus, as KISS said being that close can induce a hum in the phone.

    I usually try to keep my LV wire 6-12 inches away, yet at times I may have to run the LV with HV--yet it's normally one hole.

    Note: Today's low voltage wire has improved.
