Brian,
Ought to work very well. Cat 5 cable is designed for data rates at
higher frequencies than our low band gear will use. I'd terminate the
unused pairs with 100Ω
resistors at both ends, though, to make sure they behave properly.
I believe the Cat 6 cable might be even better for this application,
because separation between the pairs is better controlled by a nylon
spline in the center of the cable.
