Fiber Optic Cable in conduit with other low voltage wiring
I have a project where we ran a 2" conduit from the exterior emergency generator yard to a Remote Generator Annunciator Panel inside a building. I beleive this is 3-#18 THWN, 24V.

I''m not going to pretend to know all the nuisances of the code but it appears it may be ok if the fiber optic cable is ran with the current carrying conductors when they are associated.
FOA Standard For Installing Fiber Optic Cable Plants
Since building systems may require many types of cables, both fiber and copper, these cables should be separated to protect the fiber cables from damage and all cables marked properly.
Can I run fiber in the same conduit as electrical?
General Consideration: It is generally not recommended to run fiber optic cables in the same conduit as electrical power cables. This is due to several potential risks and complications that can arise from
Duct Installation of Fiber Optic Cable
Fiber optic cable should not be coiled in a continuous direction except for lengths of 100 ft (30 m) or less. The preferred size for the figure-eight coil is about 15 ft (4.5 m) in length, with each loop 5 ft (1.5 m)
Electric cable and Multi mode fiber optic cable
Fiber optic is not impacted by the proximity with the power cable. There is no clearance required for this application. On the other hand, when fibre is run with a transmission line with towers,
Fiber optic ran next to electric runs. Concerns? : r/electrical
As long as the fiber sheath is non conductive (small fiber is always going to be), the code permits it to be run in conduits and elsewhere along side of power wiring.
NEC Minimum Separation Distances Between Power and Data Cables
Fiber optic cables transmit data using pulses of light, making them entirely immune to electromagnetic interference. Consequently, fiber optic cables do not require the same minimum separation distances
