Electrical – How many power cables can a coaxial cable cross

coaxial-cableelectricalwiring

I am running coax RG6Q to my FiOS box. I know to cross electrical cables perpendicular, but is there a limit to how many wires I can cross in a short area? See my picture: the coax is the black line going horizontally to the vertical power wires. Is this a disaster waiting to happen? Can I test the interference before I commit to this line?

coax perpendicular to power

Edit: I have been running this configuration for over two years now. I can say that I have experienced no noticeable degradation of signal during this time. Thanks!

If you cross perpendicular to the power there will be no problems no matter how many cables you cross each cable basically cancels when perpendicular.
