[Klug-general] OT: Combined Power and RJ45 faceplates

[Mike Evans]

I've recently renovated a section of our house and did the wiring with 
the help of Kevin G (recommended).  I did have a look at options for 
ethernet outlets and in the end decided on putting a separate back-box 
and face plate adjacent to the power outlets for the following reasons:

1) Running power and data in the same trunk is a no-no, for reasons of 
induction and interference, so you want some separation between the 
cables anyway.

2) Similarly mixing high voltage and low in the same back-box seems 
inadvisable so you would have to find something that provided the 
necessary isolation.

3) A variety of products are available for separate wiring whereas 
anything for combined is going to be restricted and probably expensive.

That's my 2d worth.
