OT: cat5e cable

I'm running ethernet cable in the walls/attic at my home. A friend was 
nice enough to give me some Belden Datatwist(r) 5e 1585A CMP 4PR24 wire 
to use. I'm a little concerned that it has been crimped (bent to a right
angle and flattened) in places. It feels ok once it's straigtened out 
again. Is that anything to be concerned about? Would I be better off 
using some cable that's fresh out of the box (my friend also gave me 
some of that)?

TIA for the opines.
