Good point, I got distracted by all the fibre and 40G stuff ;-)
You'd be better off running STP rather than UTP if interference is an

would more than outweigh the cost of STP cable and connectors - not to
mention providing a little more protection from manic tradesmen
(or DIYers) wielding power drills.
