Windows 10: Will Heat from Radiator Disrupt Data through Ethernet Cable?

I want to know if heat from a radiator will disrupt data running through an ethernet cable and is so, how to best avoid it. In my room I got a cat6a cable I will be installing. The problem is theres a radiator in my room that heats up during winters around which I want to run my cable.

There are 2 options to doing this: 1) hook it to the ceiling which will run above the radiator, or 2) hook it to the floor which will run beneath the radiator.

In both cases heat will expose the cable. But which way will minimize the amount of heat to which the cable will be exposed?

Not sure why you're concerned. What is the physical principle you have in mind by which a few degrees + or - might affect data transfer?

If the cable were at ceiling level it would- near enough- be at the room temp you experience. How hot does your room get?
Most people don't site their radiators near the ceiling. Of course, you might have very low ceilings, or exceptionally large radiators.

Heat rises, so the lowest point is what you'd expect to be coolest. Plus floor level is probably tidier.

Beware of hotfixes *chuckle

Its not a few degrees difference. Water based radiators do not radiate a few degrees, they can get very hot to counter frigid cold trying to seep through windows.

With the radiator, my room can get to about 85 - 100 degrees.

If I were to place it along the floor is there a way to insulate the cable from the radiator since it'll be situated just an inch from it?
