To minimize interference, telecommunication cables are run as close to phase conductors as possible and as far away from the neutral conductor as possible.​

Telecommunication Cables

Cables used for transmitting information via electrical signals or light pulses over distances.

Phase Conductors

The wires or cables in an electrical system that carry the alternating current between the source and the load, in one or more phases.

Neutral Conductor

A conductor that carries current back to the source in electrical systems and is at a potential of zero volts.

  • Understand the implications of harmonics on telecommunication systems.

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
Telecommunication cables are typically run as far away from phase conductors as possible to minimize interference, and there is no specific rule to keep them away from the neutral conductor as the neutral is typically at or near ground potential and less likely to induce interference.
