I just took a look, and I've got about a half inch total at best. The section that passes through the floor is probably a little tighter than that, so I think insulating material would be tricky at best.
Looks like I'll have to find another way. It wouldn't be so bad to mount a box on the wall and punch the cable through into the closet, then just a small hole in the floor to get downstairs. I just have to convince the wife I can do it without making a mess. The walls are plaster and lathe, which makes it a little trickier.
Failing that, I guess I can always get a WAP and set it up as a wireless bridge. I'm using my laptop the same way right now.
EDIT: Your mention of insulation got me thinking... would something like
this protect the cable well enough?
