I have lots of my cable lying along side the central heating pipes, 
quite simply in my house there was no viable alternative. I also have 
lots of cable running alongside mains and coax cable, again because 
there was no alternative. Every single one of the 88 ports works fine 
and everything has been in place for more than 18 months now. So all 
I can say is I have had no problems in NOT following the guidelines. 
YMMV.
