I have a sunroom above my garage. The sunroom has a concrete slab floor, which is also the ceiling of my garage. I want to put a cable TV receptacle in the wall of my sunroom that would be connected to the cable hub in my basement, but there is no way to penetrate the concrete floor. There is however an existing electrical conduit that already runs through the concrete floor and terminates at an outlet in the same wall that I want the cable TV receptacle. Can I run the cable wire through the same electrical conduit to take advantage of the existing pathway through the concrete floor? Leaving aside the question of interference with the cable signal, would this idea pose any code or safety issue? Thanks.

Thanks for taking a look at this for me. I am rookie, please forgive my electrical ignorance. On one circuit (which covers two small rooms), all of the lights work fine, but no receptacles work at all. About two years ago I installed a ceiling fan in one room, ran 14-2 wire, installed a single pole switch, and connected that to an existing receptacle. Everything worked great until last week. With the fan running, two power strips plugged into this particular receptacle, and a few other items plugged into a other receptacles, my wife said she smelled something burning. I checked, and could not find anything, so we shut off everything and went to sleep. The next morning, no power to the receptacles or fan. Days before this had happened, we noticed the tv (plugged into one of the strips) began to kinda waiver back and forth a little. I thought it was some power fluctuation fluke. So I used a neon tester to check for power in any receptacle on the circuit and nothing. I reset the breaker, and still no power to any receptacles. The lights cut off when I flipped the breaker off, but once it was reset, all lights worked fine. I replaced the switch to the fan, and the receptacle feeding power to the switch and fan, thinking that maybe after years of abuse (two power strips with, pc, modem, dss box, vcr, printer, scanner, etc.) it had gone bad. Still no power. I have checked [B]most[/B] other receptacles, and all pig tails are twisted tight with wiring nuts, and their leads are firmly attached to their receptacle connections. Could there be a wire that is damaged or singed? If so, this seems very intensive?!! One strange twist... A day after we noticed that the power was out, I tried the neon tester on another receptacle (not the fan power feeding one) and the tester light lit up. I had my wife hit the switch to fan and the light of the tester went out. When she turned to fan switch to off, the neon tester light came on at this particular recepticle????? Any suggestions or advice are greatly appreciated. Sorry so long. Thanks, Philiberto DC.
