Default Strobe Cable Routing

Maybe I am just making too much of the strobe cables.
I have the Whelen strobes (not LED) with pack mounted pilot side
behind the baggage panel. I have seen so much about the
noise they can create I am some what paranoid about the routing.
I decided to run the cables down the sides from wing root, under
the seats, under the baggage floor to the pack. Keeping them
out of the center tunnel which has GPS coax and cables to
the magometers on the rear deck. Then I realized I have a comm
antenna under each seat. I would be within 3" of the base of
each antenna!
So just how dangerous are the strobe cables to other electronics if
I end up going down the center tunnel? I sure don't want to.
Lots of old post, with a zillion different routings, but thought there
might be some new ideas out there.

I had strobe power pack wires down my wings (packs in fuse) for years next to antenna wires and magnotometer wires. Never once saw anything on the EFIS nor did I hear anything on the radios.
