Can I use somehow use CAT5 instead of COAX for SPDIF?

I need to get SPDIF audio into my bedroom from my living room. I was planning to run RG6, but thought that if I could run CAT5 instead, I would have a more future usable piece of cable. Besides, its much easier to handle CAT5 instead of stiff RG6.

Can anybody provide any tips?

THANKS!
