720467 2008-11-15 23:23:00 Can Data Cables (USB, Temperature Sensors) be affected by Power Adapters if they are located close to them, therefore corrupting the Data or causing a malfunction.

Thanks for your help

720468 2008-11-16 00:52:00 Most data cables, while not shielded, are pretty resistant to external interference. USB, for example, uses a pair of cables and only the difference between the voltages of those cables matters. This means that external interference, which affects both cables roughly equally, is canceled out. TGoddard (7263)
