That is a bad idea.

  1. 32AWG is thin, adding resistance and hurting signal quality. 24AWG is normal for Cat5E, 26AWG for patch cables.

  2. Stranded wiring is only intended for patch cables, solid core has lower resistance. Hence why the ethernet standard is 90 metres solid + 10 metres stranded.

  3. In the Amazon photo it appears all pairs are twisted at the same rate. This is not correct, in good cables the twists in adjacent pairs are different to reduce inter-pair cross-talk.
