Running power cable alongside DVI and component

I'm about to mount a projector to my ceiling and plan to route the DVI, component and power cables inside plastic trunking.

What is the best option for running the power cable alongside the video wires? The cables will all have to travel along the same path for around 5 metres.

I was toying with the idea of chasing the power cable into the ceiling and walls thus leaving a large distance between the video cables, but this is impractical.

Is there any way I can shield the power cable adequately for such a length?

I've got mine all running up the same bit of trunking without any problems. If they are good quality cable, you should have no problems.

I'm using Belden 1694A for the analogue cables so fingers crossed it'll work well.
