impactacoustics.com — ever wanted to run Ethernet cable everywhere in your house? don't want to sink cable into walls? This is 2.4mm thick CAT5 cable that sticks to walls and is almost invisible (well, except for the 2.4mm bump I guess).

digg is just a technical flavored myspace w/o all the pretty (or ugly) pictures.

"These don't look like they are shielded very well."That is because it is NOT!If you want shielded you need to have CAT5e or CAT6For those who say.. They have WiFI... YOU DO NOT GET IT!A wired network is fsr better for MANY MANY reasons. I have wireless but would far prefer to have hard wired connections in all rooms.The others that said... just buy regular cable and strip it out yourself... YOU ARE FORGETTING... you then have to go buy the continuous fibrous tape that is surrounding it. It actual is between two strips.. which make it easier to adhear to a surface.This is a great product for people that need it... It is not for all... so if it is not for you... the STFU.

Ideally, I'd prefer a completely wired house. As it is I have some wired devices and some wireless devices according to their usage. I love the portability of wireless for our laptop, PDA and Roku. However, for my PC and ReplayTV and Xbox I need wired connections. Pumping large video files through my 4 story house using wireless sucks balls. This product looks lame as hell and I doubt that it performs at CAT5 speeds. Plus, painting over this on a wall is gonna look like hell in a bit once humidity and temperature changes have their effect. I have an very old home and found running CAT5 behind the shoe moulding and up interior wall cavities is quite easy.

If you own such a nice place and don't want to drill holes try wireless. Or run it under mouldings... but why go through all the trouble of prepping and painting the entire length of wire you're running? Doesn't sound like it would save much time or effort.

Not reading all these comments. However, this is nothing but twisted pair without the cabling sheath.

@reverbThe twisted pairs are indeed tightly twisted, but the pairs are also supposed to be twisted together. The twisted pairs prevent internal interference, the overall twisting cuts down external interference and adds to tensile strength.
