Two Ethernet Conns over one CAT5E

I am looking for folks experience running two 100baseT full duplex links down about 50 metres of CAT5E by using the second two pair. It would be difficult to run a second CAT5E at this time.

OK, I have done this using 10baseT half duplex with no detectable problems but has anybody done it at 100MHz full duplex?

I think it should work, after all the crostalk level must be similar (+3dB) to a single full duplex link.
