I'm quoting UK codes of course.  I *think* mechanical separation would
be satisfied by an extra layer of sleeving over the actual wires
carrying the mains voltage.  It is now a requirement in the UK (and EU
I believe) that all mains leads are sheathed, you can't use the
'figure of eight' twin flex that used to be quite common.

Electrical codes only apply to the fixed wiring of the building, not to power cords, trailing 4-way extension leads, USB, HDMI and ethernet cables.
