Cat 5e Next to ductwork

Some of my only access points between floors are taken up by a dryer venting duct and the metal chimney from the furnace. Is there a model of cable that is heat resistant, or is this a definite "don't do it"? thx

I guess, you are referring to a properly designed, installed and maintained wired network. I just looked at one today that was neither except it was wired ;-) That's where I wished there was already wireless infrastructure in place ...
