A magnetic field is present around mains cables which will induce problems with cable without the equivalent insulation properties, therefore a minimum distance of 300mm if running parallel with telecommunication type cabling, screened or not.

Personally I would run telecommunication type cabling in it's own zone if possible, just to be on the safe side.
