Cat 6 is 22-24 AWG wire, so it can carry a few amperes. If you are not trying to transmit much (more than 30-50 watts or so), then it may be suitable. The voltage drop may be significant.
I have seen cat5 and cat6 sized cables used in 24v control systems.

What is the purpose of ground wires in overhead transmission lines?
connection of the ground of all the transmission lines and used as a communication cable between protection devices
How many kilo volts of transmission line used for transmitting 700 mega watts power?
It depends upon how far you need to take it.
What size insulated wire can handle 20kV?
Insulated wire is not used for high voltage installations. For transmission installations ACSR is used. It is Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced cable that is strung from tower to tower. The insulation comes from the separation of the conductors and the amount of insulators that support the wires from the tower frames. Common insulators have a rating of 5000 volts. To get to higher voltages they are strung together boosting the insulation rating by 5000 volts each time another insulator is added to the string.
What is quad cable with CAT rating?
Dunno. "Quad" usually refers to the shielding (such as TV antenna coaxial cable), "CAT" usually refers to four-pair twisted pair. "CATn" (CAT3~CAT6) is four-pair, twisted-pair, unshielded cabling most commonly used in Ethernet computer network cabling. Refine the question, we can help out.
What ia Standard of dc loop resistance of copper cable?
It depends on the length of th cable and the diameter of the copper cable used.
Can a Cat 5e patch cable be used as an HDMI cable?
It is possible to transmit HDMI over a single CAT5E however for reliable transmission a double CAT6 is preferred. You also need a suitable CAT6 to HDMI adaptor of course.
Which advanced category of the unshielded twisted pair cable is used in the market today?
CAT5 or CAT6. CAT6 is becoming the standard because it is rated for 1Gbps and faster speeds.
What does the cat6 usually refer to?
Cat6 is a type of category cable which is often used for connecting via the ethernet. It usually provides somewhere in the region of 250 MHz performance.
Can twisted pair cable used for LAN connections?
twisted pair cable can used as LAN connections....for example CAT5 and CAT6 both twisted pairs.
What is the correct cable type used to connect each switch to the various PCs?
cat5,cat5e $ cat6
What is Cat6 UTP Cable?
A cat6 cable is more formally known as a category 6 cable and is a cable used for a number of networks first layer (otherwise known as the physical layer) including Gigabit Ethernet. The category 6 is downward compatible with both Category 3 and Category 5/5e standards
Can an analog phone work in cat6 cable?
Yes. CAT6 may be overkill, but it will definately work. Analog phones are used most oten on CAT3 because they are both old technologies.
What type of cable used in local area network?
Today's standards use Cat5 cable. Cat6 is newest but more expensive and harder to install.
What is the difference between cat6 and cat 7 cable?
1. CAT6a is the improved version of the CAT6 cable.2. Both Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters.3. CAT6a is rated for up to 10Gigabits while CAT6 is only rated for 1Gigabit. It is able to achieve this because it operates at 500Mhz; twice that of the 250Mhz operation of the CAT6 cables. CAT6 cables may be able to achieve 10Gbps but only in when short lengths of cable are used.4. CAT6a has twice the bandwidth of CAT6 cables.5. CAT6a is better at resisting alien crosstalk compared to CAT6.6. CAT6a cables are muchthicker compared to CAT6. With the added size of CAT6a comes a significant increase in weight, which affects how many cables you'll be able to fit into a cable tray, as well as where you can place them. Cable tray capacity is drastically reduced when you're using Cat6a cable as they also require a larger bend radius.CAT6a costs a lot more compared to CAT6 (approximately double). However, CAT6a is your best bet if you want some future proofing and can afford the extra cost; doing so saves you from having to gut your walls again once CAT6 cables are no longer sufficient for your needs and you need to upgrade
Cables used in a star bus topology?
Star topology is like the network is done by easily adding another network and the most common cable is used unshielded twisted pair cable. For the star topology purpose, Cat5 and Cat6 cable is used because it is an unshielded and shielded twisted pair cable.
Pros and cons of cat6 cabeling?
Cat6 cable is very similar to Cat5e cable. It is, simply put, just held to a stricter standard than Cat5e cable. Since Cat6 is made to a higher standard than Cat5e it will support higher speed transfers. Cat5e cable can be used for networks up to a 1Gbps speed while Cat6 is currently rated for up to 10Gbps speed. Cat7 takes this even further and supports 40Gbps. For normal usage on networks up to 1Gbps and no run being longer than 100 meters, Cat5e is completely sufficient for the network. To ensure forwards compatibility it may be worthwhile to install Cat6 cable while you're at it so you don't hit a speed cap in your network down the road.
5 If you have an installation that requires Cat5 cable Which cable ratings could you use for the installation?
Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6e can be used, u can always use a better cable than required, but not the other way around
