Safety!

There a couple things which cause me to hesitate, perhaps these items have been addressed in some way I'm not aware of.

1. voltage rating of cat5 wire. Is it rated for line voltage? If not I'd be worried about it. You could light someone up and they wont be happy.

2. current handling of that cat5 cable. There is no device protection shown in your circuit which means the only thing protecting those cat5 cables from a downstream short is the breaker in the fuse panel. A real fire hazard!

I wouldn't run it like that.
