Easyish question on cat5.
I need to run a phone line from my office to my shop across a ceiling maybe 100'. I have a box of cat5 and no phone cable at all. Can I use cat5 for phone cable ??

If you wire this to a normal four wire phone jack, then just wire in two twisted pairs.
If you wire it to an RJ45 network jack, then wire all four twisted pairs.
