Flat cable is flat. Looks like ISDN.

Someone at the university said that Cray computers used to mark cables like this so that no one could reverse engineer the pairs, but I don't know if I believe that. It functions just fine to connect devices at very short ranges, kind of enjoy it as it bridges a port on my router to a switch.

Yes I know, which is why I was suspicious.
