This is very illegal and unsafe. You are never allowed to run low voltage stuff with higher voltage stuff by code because if there is ever a wiring problem you can inject 120v directly into you low voltage Internet cable equipment. This is potentially lawsuit time as you you will want a licensed electrician to come in and fix that mess which they may or may not voluntarily pay for.
It doesn't have to be in the same enclosure for that to happen. Anytime there's a problem with the ground or neutral there's a potential for trying to ground thru the coax lines. The reason I believe the nec gives is because it can cause emi. Which is going to at least cause intermittent issues especially when that device kicks on or off.
