Is it OK to fit one of these data outlets next to a mains socket?
It can be installed in the same general area, but data and mains wiring still have to follow the applicable segregation requirements.
Two accessories fitting neatly beside one another does not make the wiring behind them interchangeable; if both systems share a route or enclosure, keep the required separation or barrier rather than creating a mixed nest of cabling.
