Can I run network cable and a power cable in the same conduit? Will there be interference?

Also, what is the maximum length I can run Cat 5 before I get issues?

The distance from jack to patch panel is 298' And you should NEVER run power alnogside the lan cable. For more info try forum575
I did find this,
To minimize induced interference, don't allow Category 5 cables to cross power cables at right angles. Likewise,
don't run telecommunications cabling in the same conduit or through the same metal stud opening as power wiring
from this sight
so I would say no, you can not run cat5 cable in the same conduit.
