FYI - thinner wires may be problematic for POE applications but work great otherwise
Basic Voltage Drop Law
Vdrop = IR
P(loss) = V(drop)*I
V(drop) = I*R
Substitute for V and the formula for power loss is I^2*R
where:
I : the current through the object, measured in amperes
R : the resistance of the wires, measured in ohms
comparing these cables to a cat6/6A which has 23 AWG copper wires:
AWG inch mm per inch per cm kcmil mm2 O/km O/kFT
23 0.0226 0.573 44.3 17.4 0.509 0.258 66.79 20.36
30 0.0100 0.255 99.7 39.3 0.101 0.0509 338.6 103.2
103/20 = about 5
So a 30 AWG wire has 5x the resistance vs a 23 AWG wire
basically you're looking at losing 5x more power when using a 30 AWG wire compared to a 23 AWG wire.

I assure you, they accounted for 'physics' when they wrote 802.3at Type2 "PoE+" and the resistance numbers you're quoting are actually incorrect to boot. How about we also look up the POE+ and cable specs?
- max cable resistance is 12.5 ohms
- max voltage drop is 7.5v (based on PSE vs PD)
- max power loss is 4.5w (based on PS vs PD)
MonoPrice lists: 37.6 ohms/100m so the 50' (15m) cable is 5.5 ohms.
22g/23g cat6 usually comes in ~9-9.5 ohms/100m
Calculate your run length + patch cord and decide accordingly. If thin patch cables are needed due to cable count, aesthetics, or other reasons make sure your total run is in spec.
e.g. 25m plenum cat6 + 2m patch = 3.13 ohms and is well with spec.
*Mic drop*
But wait... calculating for volts and then talking about power (watts)? Those are NOT the same thing/unit/measurement. Might as well say you've got a 18 gallon gas tank therefore your MPGs are better. If we want to work out the math for fun:
P(loss) = V(drop)*I
V(drop) = I*R
Substitute for V and the formula for power loss is I^2*R
- 600ma (0.6A) max @ 12.5 ohms max = 7.5V (which is exactly what the PoE spec calls for)
- Power loss would thus be 0.6^2*12.5 = 4.5w (which, shockingly, is exactly to spec)
And EXTRA ALSO - this is *only* for PoE delivery. It has NOTHING to do with attenuation which is *far* more relevant for 1G/10G runs. Folks having problems with these cables are almost certainly having signal issues, not PoE, and especially so if they've got longer runs near/at/over max spec.
recommend not using these for PoE and go instead with cable that has copper 23/24 AWG wires for PoE

Edit to add - I like these cables a lot, I have about a dozen of them now. They are nice and slim yet rugged. Not totally "lay flat" but not nearly as bad as most ethernet cables that keep that coil shape.
Thanks OP, picked up two packs.

They can work with poe but the range is limited. The top end brand that sells and certifies their cables that is not monoprice has like a maximum of 27 meters. But normal wires would be better in any case. It all depends on the device though. If it is a low power device you can get away with it.
Probably not good to run this wire under carpet.
Physics
The ability of a wire to transmit power is based on the surface area, the smaller the diameter of the wire the higher the resistance, heat, power loss - which means less efficiency and less distance the cable can run.

Basically: you really do not want to use thin wires to transmit power
