Yep that's a valid point @conquest. The low voltage cabling (ethernet in this case) should be pulled through a separate conduit different from 230V cabling conduits.
 
Low voltage cabling can't be extended more than a few meters or the voltage drop will be high. Just use 230 volt through separate conduit to have this problem solved
 
@conquest What's the point of having 230V over a separate conduit? If you are not using POE, then what's the benefit in running a separate 230V line? Might as well use the regular already existing line.

Ethernet cable should definitely be run over a separate conduit. I'd always prefer POE, it makes life so much easier. In a house scenario, what is would be the max distance for a cable run? It won't be too long for POE to not work.
 
Mr.Gordon I meant like that. Separate ethernet and separate 230volt line. POE has length limit of 100m but the voltage is considerably higher to limit losses. But 12 volt would degrade at much less distance.
As for why not POE? Because of your POE switch fails you have to shell out much higher cost to replace it. But if your 230to12v adapter fails , it's minuscule compared to that.
