If you don't have Cat5 in the walls, there's not much reason to use Cat5 as a patch cable either - unless you just have nothing better to do with it.

If you need instructions on how to make connections, etc. - take a look at http://phonewiring.safewatchservice.com

Good luck!

As long as it matches the USOC standard on the other side of the jack, you'll be fine.
