1.4mm Thick Gigabit Ethernet Cable

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the only-geeks-care-about-this-crap dept.

TheIonix writes "Flat network cables aren't anything new, but I'm pretty sure ones like this are. Japanese accessory king Elecom today announced the "LD-VAPF/SV05" network cabling, coming in at 1.4mm thick." Also here's their press release if you can read Japanese.

    I'm not sure if it's out yet or not, but Flatwire has talked about this at least a year ago.

    If the pics are accurate, and you can really shut the window (sorry I don't read Japanese), then this is some cool stuff. I can see it being used to hide cabling and make it less obtrusive.

    Other than that, they had better be selling it for close to normal cable prices, or I can't think of anyone who would buy very much of it.
