Default joist question


this may sound very trivial, but would a 2x10 floor
joist be damaged in any way by staples ?

i want to run a cable tv line under the crawl space
but don't want it laying on the ground. so the plan
is to staple it, or use screw in cable clamps - to
the 2x10 joists

would this create any structural defects in the joist
(load bearing capability, etc) ??? (since i know that
you're not supposed to drill holes in the part under
tension - so would screw/staples be something that
could also damage the joist?)

TIA
