I am always very cautious when pulling ordinary electrical wiring to not bundle it so it can dissipate heat.

However, in wiring my basement for cable TV and telephone I am going crazy and bundling the Coax and Cat5e thick through the studs (using grommets of course).

I am assuming the low voltage/low current means heat dissipation does not apply since there is no heat.

Any issues or am I OK to go? We're taking up to 5 co-ax and 5 cat5e all through one hole.

This is awkward, but...
