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.

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?

The maximum allowable length of an Ethernet cable segment is 100 meters. At the limit, temperature might play a small role. If you are not near that limit I wouldn't even give this a second thought.

I run an ethernet cable along the outside of my house where it gets full sunlight in a location that often reaches 105 degrees in the shade, higher with the full sun hitting it. I have never ever had a single glitch on it.

What I'd be concerned about is any electricity/device that may be controlling the heater, especially if not using shielded cable. The flux or electromagnetic field around electrical things can affect the signal.

Dude, there is NO electricity. Its a water based radiator as I've mentioned before.

You DO need to keep data cables of any kind. separated a bit from electrical cables. As @Berton mentioned, electrical fields around power cables, can affect poorly shielded data cables.

Its like talking to toothpaste.. smh
