If you are running CAT5 data cable you should be okay. It allows 1/2
inch of untwisted wires at connectors, jacks, etc. with no crosstalk.
When I got my ETA CAT5/6 Installer certification, my instructor advised
buying ready-made custom lengths of CAT6, as the 1/4 inch untwisted
tolerance is really really hard to maintain. Also, remember to stay away
from fluorescent tubes by at least a foot (or cross at right angles if
you must), and avoid motors by at least 18 inches. Also... have fun.
There's nothing more satisfying than wiring up your own network, firing
it up, and having it WORK!

Jim,
OK that is reassuring. I will probably run it via cat5e cable and
install my own RJ45 connectors so it can be custom length (and
probably cheaper). My guess it will be better on crosstalk than
commercially made ethernet cables.
Answer to those who question my adversion to wireless: My guess you
do not do ham radio on the same frequency band as wi-fi runs. I do and
its seems crazy to intentionally broadcast RFI on my ham band. I
operate up to 10-GHz.
Regarding lightning strikes, we do not even hear thunder more often
then once every four to five years. Earthquakes and volcano eruptions
are more frequent.

No problem with a 50 foot run. Theoretic limit is over 300 feet, but
signals get wobbly at about 275 feet.
