I need to run about 100-120 feet of cat5e cable to connect our bedroom to the utility room where the network switch, DSL router etc is. I ALSO need to run a phone cable, from utility room to the same bedroom. I am wondering if all 8 wires on a cat5e cable are used for Ethernet purposes, and if that is not the case, is there a couple I could use for phone. That way I could save $$ and time by running one cable instead of two.
