Thin stuff designed to run under a carpet is not advised for inside or
outside use with a dsl modem.

There is however, flat and superflat Cat5/5E cable designed for that
exact purpose.

Did I say thanks? I should have.

So that would have modular ends and plug into my phone company NID
and also into the DSL modem, right, and it would work right there?

Never mind. I see that it would.


I found this cable, although it's CAT6, not CAT5.
This company only has flat in CAT6, no CAT5. Is that okay?

Cat6 is higher spec/speed than 5E, which in turn is higher spec than
Cat5.

CAT6 550MHz Flat Ethernet Patch Cable RJ45 CM PVC Snagless 45 FT Black
$9.68 plus 12 shipping. + almost 22 dollars
T568B (AT&T 258A) Wired
UTP Unshielded Twist Pair
CM Type PVC Jacket
32AWG Flat 4pair Stranded Copper Wire
50 Micron Gold Plated RJ45 Plug
RoHS compliant
The cables are only a slim 1.2mm thick that gives a plenty of
ventilation room for network rack wiring.
This is the longest this store has. I have to see if 45 feet is
enough.


Or

CAT5E Flat UTP Cable, 32AWG, Black, 50 ft Twisted , stranded,
RoHS Compliant $3.95, how can it be so cheap? Plus 7 dollars
shipping, (since the order is under $50) = 11 dollars, half the
price of the first one, but perhaps too cheap to be worth it?

Also, in white but I want black.

E Flat UTP Cable, 32AWG, 50 ft $13.39 Free shipping. ! No mention
of twisted pairs, but I gather all Cat5 is twisted pair.

It is.

Try this one: http://www.vpi.us/cable-sf.html (first hit on googling
"superflat cat5"). Up to 50ft Cat5E.
