Running electrical and ethernet cable in external wire casing

Folks, I have a requirement to run an extension cable from a plug and an ethernet cable from the router together using the normal external cable casing for 15m from one room to another.
The Ethernet cable I intend to use appears to be "unshielded" from the product description -
The electrical cable is of decent quality brought from the nearby store. It originates from a 3 pin plug.
Will it be an issue ? I also have the option of replacing it with shielded ethernet cable but will that mitigate the risks.
Edit : It's a rented flat so cannot do any much apart from this when it comes to cabling.

If you plan to run Ethernet cables alongside electrical cables, a shielded Ethernet cable is recommended to minimize potential interference and maintain optimal network performance. However, if the electrical cables and Ethernet cables are only crossing paths occasionally and not running parallel for long distances, an unshielded Ethernet cable may still work adequately.

Always consider the specific environment and potential sources of interference when making your decision.
