Protection distance between optical cables and power lines

No specific minimum distance is mandated by NEC or NESC when both cables are properly insulated for their respective voltages. The standard solution is to use innerduct within shared conduits or trays, which provides the necessary mechanical separation for fault survival. What separation distance is required between fiber optic and 11kV power cables? What...
