No. I would say it would not be ok. It doesn't look nearly thick enough, and if you're going to be installing cable in the wall you really need to make sure you get it right first time.

Ditto, that 1.5mm is probably 'ok', but my personal opinion is that for a permanent install and reasonably minor one-off expense you'd be best off getting 2.5mm+ cable.
