  In my case we ran 2 conduits, one for 100amp power and one for 
everything else, same trench separated by a few inches of sand between 
the 2 conduits.  The contractor said I could run the cat5 in the power 
line but I also ran telephone, cable and 2 cat5's and 2 extra wires so I 
could open the garage door remotely with a "doorbell" button by the back 
door of the house.   I believe code in most places will require separate 
conduits and my contractor was wrong about running both in one but I 
wanted the second conduit anyway.

  p.s. before you ask I had a "reason" for the 2 cat5's, I run a web 
server and it gets a different web connection than the rest of the 
house, not for necessity but for ease of setup and lack of confusion.
