T1 from demarc to CSU/DSU - UTP okay?
I need to run a T1 line from the smartjack to a CSU. The run is about 120 feet. I have lots of Category 5 UTP wire. Would it be okay to run the line over a single Cat 5 UTC run? I can make sure the Tx and Rx are each on their own pair, but if I have to use two separate pieces of cable, I might as well track down individually shielded wire.
The run doesn't pass by anything really. There is one low-power 2.4GHz video transmitter that it passes by and the only other cable that shares that approximate path carry two ISDN BRI lines.
