Routing CAT6 cable with cell antenna and alarm zone runs...

[Moonville]

I have my cellular antenna cable (LMR 600) in a one-inch buried conduit and I'm wondering if there's any reason to not run unshielded CAT6 PoE camera cable in the same conduit?

Also, are there any issues with running CAT6 cable in the same conduit with the wires for door switches/sensors?

As long as it's all low voltage wiring it should be fine, both in terms of interference and National Electrical Code.

those conduit always seem to leak

Conduits will almost*always* end up filled with water. Condensation, leaks, open ends some place, doesn't matter. I don't think code requires waterproof cables in conduit, but in over 30 years of designing industrial installations, we only used wet rated cabling below ground. And when we had to pull cables out, they always came out showing signs of either being wet or that they had been wet.

Waterproof Cat6 in an underground conduit is a must. If going to run 1...best run 2 for future as Cat6 can be used for networking and alarm sensors.... and even 12/24VDC applications (such as LED lighting).
No issues running Cat6 along low voltage alarm wiring.
