My recollection of the cabling at the place my baluns came from was
CAT3 network cable. We reused a wad of CAT3 patch cables from their
patch board as station-to-wall jack leads for our 10Mbps VoIP phones
(thus saving our CAT5 cables for workstation use).
Someone else here on the list might come along and say that's out of
spec, but I've seen it in the real world.
