I have a 50ft flat cable. It's ran under area rugs and down the stairs. Works perfect. I get Gbe speeds.

I find it difficult to imagine that a flat ethernet cable, especially one with such thin gauge wire, can possibly meet the Cat7 standard. Of course, for a wide group of users this should perform fine considering no one is likely to be connecting this between two 10GbE ports.

If you need a long, flat ethernet cable this should be an acceptable option. If you're actually seeking a good Cat7 option you'd do better with something else.

Good luck!
Jon

I wish someone would create wireless ethernet cables. It's annoying running wires from one room to the other.
The ethernet, a data link layer protocol, is irrelevant to wire/wireless, just like there is no wire/wireless tcp/ip. The original ethernet only supports coaxial cable, now it supports twisted pairs, fiber, wireless etc.

Quote from techjunkie78 View quoted comment :
the point that was trying to be made is that this is probably CCA, and tiny gauge CCA to boot.
i have 50 to 100 ft runs of CCA cat5/5e/6 and they've been working fine with POE for the past few years
no noticeable difference between my solid copper cat 6 when using for IP cameras

Quote from ms123 View quoted comment :
is this ok for running cable from router to office room? maybe I need 50' but just wanted to know if these are ok to run from the attic/crawlspace.
I see two issues.

How can a flat cable be twisted pair.

Bigger issue it's not UL listed for in wall install and even if it was there are levels of wire insulation for in wall install. Because if a fire starts in one place you don't want it spreading via the jacket burning. So. I definitely wouldn't especially if going through the attic.

Good CAT5... or 7 whatevser from monoprice or elsewhere is not THAT expensive

Thanks! I just ordered two.

Technically there is no such thing as Cat 7, but I'll bite anyways - it usually denotes good enough cable when it's called that.

I LOVE flat cables for carrying in my pocket/backpack, as an I.T. type I always have a few flat six footers on me while working. I DO NOT recommend them for POE use or critical server type use, but they're probably fine for plugging your Nvidia Sheild into your router long term.

Flat network cables are unreliable. I spoke to someone recently about them. They said they had to pull and replace them with real cables, just as I did several years ago. There's a reason why these cables are cheap now. People who know better don't buy them.
As an I.T. type I do NOT recommed them for permanent/critical use.

However I can roll one up really small and keep it in my pocket/carry cases. They are way more convienient as a temporary work tool than "real" Ethernet. Occasionally I have to throw one of my flat ones out, it gets yanked too hard or whatever and just quits working. I can't crimp a new end onto it, the guage is way too small - part of why I say no POE.

Even though I can't recommend these for permanent use, for someone like me who has to plug one into an IPX4 cabinet then close the door to keep the AC in and sit 20 ft back in the shade (or in my truck) to work on something in the cabinet, these things are gold.

Right? It's comical the length of discussion over a 3.75 cable.

Roll the dice, man. Particularly if you are using it for a PoE WiFi access point or security camera.

I have been buying Cable Matters network cables lately. No issues. 30 foot is $11.50. 3C says it has been as low as $8, but not lower than $10 since the Before Times.

Seriously.
Under 20'? screw it, you can probably get gig speeds with coat hangers for each pin. I've done gig PoE over CAT3 for ~25' because it's what was there.

I have the 100' version and used it for multiple installations as I've moved apartment to apartment and now house. Full gigabit speeds, no issues at all. I wouldn't use it for permanent in-wall installation, but if you need to make a run across your entire place around doors along the trim it's a great option.
