Cable ambient temperature distance

[JJWalecka]

When bundling Type MC Cable how far apart do the cables have to be to allow the right ambient temperature. For instance: If I had a Caddy "J" hook with five Mc's installed how far away should the next "J" Hook be.
Thank you for your time and effort

6 feet.........

Perhaps I didn't explain it in detail enough. If you had a trunk run of branch circuits supported every six feet how far to the right or left of the trunk run would the next bundle of cables need to be. 6 inches away? 12 inches away?? Thank you for your time

As long as it is not bundled with the other cables there is no distance.

310.15(B)(2)(a) More Than Three Current-Carrying Conductors in a Raceway or Cable. Where the number of current-carrying conductors in a raceway or cable exceeds three, or where single conductors or multiconductor cables are installed without maintaining spacing for a continuous length longer than 600 mm (24 in.) and are not installed in raceways, the allowable ampacity of each conductor shall be reduced as shown in Table 310.15(B)(2)(a). Each current-carrying conductor of a paralleled set of conductors shall be counted as a current-carrying conductor.

Define spacing. An inch, millimeter or an atom?

An Adam should be enough.
