The proper cable to use is to the BT CW13308 specification. Cat5E is usually
CW1308 ??

OK because they are both twisted pair cables which is the crucial thing.

Are they? I have a reel of CW1308 that's not twisted, and when I looked
a few years back was unable to find a spec that said it should be
twisted.
