Please Do NOT use the flat ethernet cable due to following reasons.
A) There is no twisted paired inside the flat ethernet cable to offset the interference.
B) There is no cross-spacer between the cables inside the flat ethernet cable.
C) The diameter of each core can not meet the AWG standard due to cut corners.
For the CAT5e cable, the diameter for most of the flat Ethernet cables can not meet the 24AWG
(0.49~0.51mm) standard and the bandwidth can not meet the 125MHz standard.
For the CAT6/CAT6a cable, the diameter for most of the flat Ethernet cables can not meet the
23AWG standard and the bandwidth can not meet the 250MHz standard.
For the CAT7 cable, the diameter for most of the flat Ethernet cables can not meet the 22AWG
standard and the bandwidth can not meet the 600MHz standard.
D) For many of the multicore Ethernet cables, the solid conductor for each core is made by the
aluminum wire, copper-clad aluminum wire or copper-clad steel wire rather than the
anaerobic
copper wire.
