with USB Extender cables in the same bundle - loom?
We are presently using several CAT 5e cables to extend MIDI, for instance, using Kenton LNDR Line Driver MIDI Range Extenders over shielded CAT 5e cables.

As well one AVB signal also using a shielded CAT 5e cable. All of these CAT 5e cables are bundled together in a flexible fabric loom which together acts as the console's "umbilical" cord. This combination of cables connects to the console. From there these cables connect via connectors on a wall plate to CAT 5e cables to their final destination. The AC power and the CAT 5e cables run beyond that point thru separate conduits.
In addition to these signal, cables, there is an AC power cord for console power. Relatively low current, just a few amps. The request has been made to have the power cord in the same loom as these digital signal CAT 5e cables. Presently the AC cord runs near the signal cables, but not as close as would be if it was bundled very close in the loom. I'm thinking it would be OK but also have a few reservations. .
(This "umbilical" cord is approx 25 ft long.)
One of my reservations is as a result of some damage done to other equipment in the bldg, not the organ, but to the lighting and the HVAC control systems after some recent (active lightning) storms. One thought was to possibly use a shielded AC power cord. The whole idea behind this combining request is to have just a single cable assembly via the loom) for the organ as in making it neat and pretty..
Any thoughts?
