Across (at a 90) is perfectly acceptable, to code and has almost zero chance of causing interference.
To be clear, I am not recommending that you go unshielded where there is that much EMI, I'm just saying I have been in situations where that happened, and it was at 90 degrees, parallel, and various angles crossing. These were on sites in rural South Texas with people running these lines who typically ran commercial electrical lines.
It is also where I saw the difference a properly terminated RJ45 connection can make. This was at least 15 years ago, probably longer. A lot of guys would simply match colors without regard for terminating the pairs properly. Nothing like an MCC to show you the error of your ways there.

Yeah. In a residential setting it really shouldn't be an issue. Just stay away from the mains coming in and a 480 into a house is a pretty stout house.

Step 1), strip off 12” of sheathing
Step 2) straighten out those annoyingly twisted wires so you can see them
Step 3) don’t waste any of that thin wire. Move to the end of the straightened foot of tiny wires and punch down in order.

The only place I'm terminating rj45 is my own home and this is exactly what I'm doing
Why I pay the big bucks to get people like VA to do the work for our company
