Magnum Remote & Trimetric RV 2025 install

In the process of installing a MS2012 inverter with ME ARC50 remote & Trimetric RV2025 monitor in my Cougar TT. I have a question about running the wires for the remote and monitor.

Inverter is in the front of the trailer near the batteries and I'll be running the 120 volt wiring to the back of the trailer where the power distribution panel is located. I also want to place the remote and monitor in the back of the trailer where the trailer control panel is located.

Can I run the communication cable for the remote and monitor in the same conduit as the 120 wiring or do I need to run them in a separate conduit?

What signaling protocol is the data side? Is the data cable twisted pair, or something with parallel leads like silver satin cable? Best practice is NOT to run data cable in close proximity to power cable, but some data signaling and cable is fairly immune to the induced current from adjacent power cable, while other types are very susceptible.

I wouldn't.. That's 20' of coupling between the two.
