Re: ethernet cable
Gigabit spec was specifically designed to run on Cat 5.

Cat 6 has improved crosstalk and higher frequency spec, but not sufficient for 10Gb certification. It's also useful for structured cabling, and/or perhaps 2.5Gb.

The flat cable claims to be "compatible with" which I suspects is just a glorified way of saying "It'll fit into an ethernet port". It doesn't claim to actually be Cat 7.
