New recessed light wiring unsafe?

[WhyIRent]

I'm installing new recessed canister lights into an existing celining. The lights have the IC rating. I'm running the NM cable for these lights parallel to the joists. This means that the cable touches the canisters when it runs to the other lights. Is this a safety problem, or are these IC lights cool enough not to effect the NM cable insulation?

I installed lights like this in my property. I did exactly what you did and the inspector blessed it.

But I did run the NM cable out of fixture about 1½ to 2 inches before I ran to the next fixture.

Is there anyway the cable can avoid direct contact with the fixture?
