    It would work, but make sure you use stranded CAT5, but it's not normally shielded which is desirable. On the other hand, a line driver output (differential quadrature) is pretty much noise immune.

    I normally use a 9 conductor shielded serial cable, just cut the ends off as needed. More flexible than CAT5.
