Although we recommend quad shield for use for the reasons you mentioned. Inside a home it is really up to the individual what cable better suits their needs. As long as you understand the possibilities of interference and how that can affect the service. If using a particular cable help you with routing to obtain a certain appearance in the home. Long as it works that is fine. If you would encounter concerns. For testing, we would recommend using a standard quad shielded cable first. If concerns persist then please reach us on (X) formally known as Twitter at CoxHelp, visit us on Facebook, or email by at cox.help@cox.com anytime for assistance. We are always happy to help.

Thanks DannyS I'll keep that in mind. Since cables aren't expensive, I might pick up a 10ft quad shield cable as well.
Just to give a few other details. Basically the cable comes from the wall jack, around the wall corner and under the table to the modem. The only powered device is the UPS and a lamp and printer cord that the coax goes by. The printer is an Epson EcoTank so it's nothing high voltage such as a laser printer. My impressions from reading the articles about the specs, it suggests high levels of EMI from radio equipment and similar, which isn't here in this apartment.
