That said if you're insistent on it, there's no "data loss" with a proper cable of any type. Flat cables will be fine, as long as you avoid the dirt cheap ones as craigy says.

You'll want STP cables though obviously if you want to avoid radiation, since cables can give off plenty of EM radiation too, especially over long distances.

Not to mention Power lines and terrestrial TV and Radio masts..

I've always thought the best reason to get off WiFi is reliability and speed of data transmission. Ethernet does better on both.
