Hi there, I use CAT5 cable for my telephone connections and it has worked
fine for years.
Cheers

As stated in my previous threads I'll be running new wire for my
phones.
A couple of questions.
I have a couple of large spools of network cable, the blue shielded
stuff. I'm thinking it's 8 strand in 4 twisted pairs.(This is high
grade stuff that I used when helping a friend network his office
building. Commonly called "bluefire" cable.)
Would this cable work for regular phone line?
Also would it be of any benefit to run this in metal conduit to
prevent noise and any possible passive tap?(High impedance pickup
coil)
I know this wire is way more expensive than regular phone line but I
have a surplus of it and that'd be cheaper than going out and buying a
new spool of phone cable.
