Hi folks, I just found myself in the situation where I am forced to run the main network cable going to the main router through a wall where it passes close to a power line at a 90 degree angle. Is there considerable interference that I should be trying to avoid? The cable is CAT6 unshielded. If there is interference, is there anything that I can add between the wires that would prevent it?
Thanks.
You should be fine. You generally just want to avoid running it parallel when possible, and to my knowledge 90 degrees is fine. I run a 50 foot cat6 utp cable across a few 120v lines 90 degrees and it sustains a 2.5g link no problem.
