Equipment room

I've stripped the sheetrock off all the walls, created a small utility room
where the main breaker panel is. How far from the breaker panel should I
install the structured wiring panel to minimize noise and interference?

Who says there's any ? Put it where it makes sense.

Don't blame me. I voted for Gore.

There is the possibility of picking up noise, however, it's usually
minimal. When I do these, I put the box where it's convenient, but as
far away as is reasonable. Work with what you've got.

Two comments that what I want to hear. I watched the videos by the
training department "Residential Infrastructure Wiring." They comment
that they are locating the HA distribution box away from the breaker
panel but don't say why. Some of the supply house say a minimum of
eighteen inches and I've come across other opinions that 3 feet is
recommended. Looking for a consensus.

The metal shells on both pieces help "discourage" interference. It
really depends more on wiring than proximity. If you allow signal
wires and AC power wires to run along side each other you could very
well get noise. If they cross at 90 degrees they will be ok.
