You're just as well off using eight separate conductors, like hookup wire than using flat "ethernet" cable. I've been known to do things out of "spec" to get a job done, but that stuff will never be on my list. After seeing what a simple bend, let alone a sharp bend, does to the impedance of a cable, coaxial or twisted pair, on a TDR that stuff would produce a mountain of impedance.
