Hello,

I would like to install an Ethernet cable from my box to my bedroom and to do this, I would like to drill through the ceiling and then another wall, but to make it look cleaner, I would like to place it next to the heating pipes.
My question is: can I make this installation and place my cable next to the hot pipes without risking damaging the cable due to heat?

Thank you.

    Hi,
    it depends on the heating system; the temperature of the pipes can vary between 30 and 80 degrees depending on the systems.
    If you can, place a sleeve next to the pipe to run your cable through anyway.

      So with a sheath it might be possible.

        yes, even small, 16 mm, on 20 cm of thickness, it's not a problem.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently looking for a cable that would be 15m long but I don't understand some characteristics like cat6 for example, could you help me please?

        The category determines several physical measurements on high-frequency signals, attenuation, but especially crosstalk (interference of one pair by another).
        But on 20m, anything or almost anything can work, as long as they are twisted pairs, so for you, cat5 or cat5e will work just fine.
        Use stranded wire if you're connecting male plugs directly at the end, and solid wire for wiring wall-mounted female jacks.

    YES for heating, but be careful, you need a category 5 cable or higher, then it's a straight wiring, meaning there is a pairing order.
    Wire pair one to 1 and 2, then pair two to 3 and 6, then pair three to 4 and 5, and pair four to 7 and 8. You need a special crimping tool and RJ connectors, plan for several RJ45 connectors because sometimes you don't succeed on the first try. The data RX and TX are on 1 and 2, then 3 and 6. 4 and 5 are reserved for telephone, and 7 and 8 are reserved for power supplies.
    Nothing better for signals next to Wi-Fi.
