I got some extra advice OP. Power cables create electromagnetic resistance called flux. This interferes with poorly insulated data cables.

Also, don't coil power cables. When a power cable is coiled the strength and range of flux multiplies. If you run a data cable through the center of a coil any previously effective insulation will be rendered moot.

TL;DR Power cables and data cables aren't friends, keep them away from each other.
