My google foo is failing me. I am building a custom desk and am planning the cable runs. Is it ok to run a display port cable with a power cable inside a 1 1/2" pipe together, or will the power cable add interference? The run will be about 4 feet. It's the run from floor up to a monitor.
 
So long as the cable is properly shielded you should be golden.
 
This is usually only an issue when you're dealing with unshielded cables carrying analog signals for extended runs. A display port cable carries a digital signal with error-checking built-in to compensate for most interference. You should be fine, particularly with a short run of only 4 feet.
