I am having an addition put on the back of my house. I want to run 2 cat 6a lines back there for a PoE camera and Wi-Fi access point for the backyard. Ideally both in the center of the yard. Do I need to be concerned about interference? What distance should I have between them? Thanks!
 
If I am picturing this as you describe, The 6a lines are not attached to the addition but run out in the yard? If so lightning could be a concern as copper can get induced current/voltage from lightning. Other folks are more qualified to recommend solutions, because I'd roll the dice and run cat6 in Pvc conduit and hope for the best. I suppose grounded Conduit might be more correct.
You might get sufficient wifi coverage if the wifi is attached to the "addition"
