Default Can you run two or more nav/com cables (RG-400) next to each other?

Does the RG-400 have enough shielding to prevent any problem if the cables are run together through the fuselage?

Has anyone run their cables together to their radio stack?

Thank you.

Not a problem. Just don't tie the transponder or DME cables with the com or nav cables.

And if you have an ELT with remote, route the remote wiring away from any transmitting antenna leads; the RF has been known to set off the ELT.
