    I doubt it…

      Yeah I don't think flat cables can meet cat6 standard.

      Even cat5e cables can do gigabit over short distances. Higher-rated cables allow longer distances.

      It's all got to do with "loss budget". In any telecommunications link, you can afford to lose a certain amount of signal strength before the data starts to become unreliable. If a given link can afford 10dB loss, and has two connectors that lose 0.5dB each, then you can "afford" up to 9dB loss in the cable. If the cable loss is 10dB/100m, you can have up to 90m of cable. A poorer cable may be 30dB/100m, so only 30m of cable is permitted.

      So the Zapals cable will do Gigabit, but not for very far. That's the missing information. If your in-wall cables already use up most of your link budget, then the Zapals cable may push you over the limit.

        Even? Cat5 was designed for 1GigE

        Tell that to my friend who tore his hair out this week trying to diagnose a PC and a router which would connect only at 100Mb/s. After swapping ports, routers, and PC adapter cards for days, he called me in desperation looking for help (he was thinking of buying a "good" replacement modem/router). I suggested swapping the cable but he said the 1m cable was "certified" CAT5e and tested good on his "cable tester" (continuity tester). No prize for guessing the faulty component here.

        • Russ on 11/03/2018 - 23:46

          I think your friend's "certified" cable was not really cat5e. I can vouch for cat5e working at gigabit, my workplace has only cat5e cable (no separator) and we have gigabit networking on everything since we upgraded our switches. Longest cable run must be about 40m.

          I have now had a close look at the Zapals cable on a full-size screen, and I now doubt it is even an ethernet cable. I can't see how there could be twisted pairs in a cable less than 2mm thick, I think the Zapals cable is a telephone cable!

          @Russ:

          I can't see how there could be twisted pairs in a cable less than 2mm thick…

          You didn't scroll across and see the last thumbnail under the product picture then. It shows 4 twisted pairs in an exposed cable.

          @endotherm:

          You're right, I didn't scroll across. But now that I have, I can see that that photo is obviously faked. Notice how the orange/white pair is twisted in the opposite direction to all the other pairs? Somebody has cut the wire, and then manually twisted the strands for the photo.

      Just hearsay from Reddit, but apparently (at least) some slim cables are good and at least one person claimed to have certified some. Just don't use PoE. GbE itself is surprisingly resilient.

      Still super skeptical at 45c…

        I bought similar 25m cables off ebay. Generic. Flat.
        Been running my 2 AP's fine for about 8 months now.
        Just checked. No errors etc 1000FD. 48v POE supplied from 2 x Cisco POE injectors.
        I did not want to use a POE switch at home…. lower power etc so I use fanless HP managed switches.
        Also tried 2 x 10m cables of the same type without issue.
        We also use these everywhere for desktop connectivity for 1000+ laptops - 1m cables - at work.
        Users love them and it's gigabit all the way.

        TL;DR:
        I cannot vouch for these Zapals cables but I am using exact same generic flat cables at home without issue.
        With POE.
        Very flexible.
        Multi-coloured!

        YMMV

      • virtual81 on 12/03/2018 - 11:33

        Why not PoE ?

    • Transparent on 12/03/2018 - 06:09

      Probbaly get 1GB/s but not PoE

    Cheap network cables is something you don't want. Buy some good quality ones and it'll save you tears of frustration and hours/days/weeks of troubleshooting.

    • dcep on 12/03/2018 - 12:08

      if you don't want too cheap, then don't apply code,

      and pay USD$ 3.99 instead of 35c

  • K1LL3R12 on 12/03/2018 - 12:17

    Just for the record, I can build a cat 6 Ethernet cable for $1.28 per meter and it's the stuff I genuinely use.
    Buying a roll of 305 meter for $176 + 100 cat 6 crimp plugs for $70.61. For them to have not had to move that box far at all and use scrap copper for the wires, personally I think it's very possible for a Chinese wholesaler.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/03/2018 - 21:11

      I was able to get 300m cat5e for ~70 AUD only around 0.23 AUD per metes so it pretty doable, if they buy more from factory/suppliers.

      • Russ on 13/03/2018 - 22:33

        That's a good price. Which wholesaler did you get that price from?

          It was hikvision supplier, I brought it back from China trip so shipping is probably going to be 20-50 dollars. It hard to find contact online/overseas as they don't sell overseas due to shipping and other costs.

    Code still works
