Outside Plant Construction Guide
Where no physical barrier exists, no duct or cable shall be laid within a distance of 600mm (24 inches) measured horizontally, nor cross within a distance of 300mm (12 inches) measured vertically from
Can I run fiber in the same conduit as electrical?
Ultimately, the decision to run fiber optic cables in the same conduit as electrical cables should be made with careful consideration of the potential risks, regulatory requirements, and available alternatives.
SECTION 260543

Guidelines for NBI End Users when laying Ducting to facilitate the
Note should be taken of any existing cables, sewers, drains, waterlines, Electrical cables, or gas supply lines close to along or across the proposed duct route.
Go 128 rule 41.4
Where the ducts of either system are not of rigid material, or the supply cables or conductors are buried, the separations of Rule 41.4-B1 apply. In lieu of this requirement, the provisions of Rule 43.3-B1 for
Safety of running fiber alongside electrical in
If you want to run the fiber through the same conduit as the electrical cable, and the fiber is "ADSS" or has absolutely no metal in it, then you are totally safe. The
