Yes you can. I had used it before and I changed to streetwires. Not because it sound bad but it looks fugly.

networking cable is usually UTP.. -> twisted pair...
Normally you would only use twisted pair in a balanced transmission system. Because the cables are twisted in such a way, and couples with the inverted phase of the signal , the generated EMF will cancel each other out. also, the twisted configuration ensures that any noise induced into the cable does so equally in both cables so that it can be "cleaned up" at the balanced input stage.

normally, there will not be any advantage to use twisted pair cables in unbalanced systems, it would be worse still if the twisted pair has no outer grounding layer, as it will be susceptible to noise...

unbalanced system -> go for normal co-axial cable with a ground sheath
if no choice -> get one with proper shielding

balanced system -> ok to go for twisted pair

Cat5 cable is a popular raw material for DIY speaker cables for home hi-fi enthusiasts. But of course, you can use them for RCA (interconnects) cables as well.

For Cat5, they usually take 2-8 cable lengths, take them all apart, and rebraid them.

some interesting reading...

Install a patch panel too if you run with NW cable.

they sound clean n clear, easily beats tose rm1xx cable...

try n use it on tweeter....:) 1 pair (1 twisted pair only) is enof, but the thing is they r hard, break easily...
