I did a less severe case of this, CATV cable (just the usual stuff from
Radio Shack) routed thru the 2nd floor/ 1st floor ceiling space between
two rafters along with my ham radio HF antenna coax (using thick-net
Eithernet, that's just fancy RG8 with multiple shields, selected used
coax without vampire tap holes) for about 10 feet.  No problems
observed.  Of course it's better to have more separation than just a few
inches, but I didn't have much choice here.
