I used flat Ethernet cables. Work well around bends and can have then under doors too if needed and totally unnoticeable when under a carpet.

Flat cords are the best way. If you have hardwood floors, you can even hide these flat cables under the quarter round moldings too. I've done this with speaker wires in the past.

In college I ran speaker wires through the asbestos insulation around the hot water pipes to get to my friends room because he had loaned me all his vinyl. He'd call my room and make requests and I'd turn his speakers on (he could adjust the volume on his end). My last name is Kaup which could be a radio station also so he'd ask seriously as if I was an actual radio station. 1980's so no texting.

So far he's gifted me three cars so it's worked out great for me.

TL;DR Cancer be damned we need some tunes.

Unfortunately for you, it is extremely likely.

First line, from the first website found on Google.........

What is Asbestos Pipe Insulation and Lagging?

Asbestos pipe insulation and lagging can be one of the most dangerous forms of asbestos.

So whatever gives you such confidence that it is "not at all likely"?

There are few feelings in the world better than perfectly hiding a speaker wire under moldings

I used flat Ethernet cables, lifted the edge of the carpet, and ran them alongside the gripstrips.

You'd never have known they were there and were very easily removed and reused when we moved in to our next place.
