Question regarding interference with power cables

[burntfish]

I'm currently remodeling my living room and plan on running new armored ac power cables along with dual cat6, speaker wires, and wires for the my security cameras. I read somewhere that it is best practice to separate the power from the other cables. However due to space constrain, I need to run them all in parellel along length of the ceiling. My question is, how susceptible is UTP cat6 to interference? Will the video feed of my security cameras be grainy due to the interference? Thanks.

Its hard to say. Generally speaking, you want to only cross over power cables with UTP and not run parallel for long lengths. Can you not separate them at all? Even by a foot? You should be ok if you can get "some" separation between the two.

Another option is using STP instead of UTP cable. It is more expensive but it inhibits interference.
