Analog Audio Signal over dedicated Ethernet/Twisted Pair Cable


I need to send an audio signal over 3 meters and back again on the same line (the plan is to put an on/off switch and a volume regulator at the end of the line).


Additionally I would like to send 12 volts power in the same cable, with small amperage.


Is it possible to use an Cat5 Ethernet cable for that purpose? I have those in abundance, and want to avoid buying a dedicated cable for that purpose.


I would use following signals:



  • Audio Right In

  • Audio Left In

  • Audio Ground In

  • Audio Right Out


  • Audio Left Out

  • Audio Ground Out

  • 12 V +

  • 12 V -
