Uh, maybe not.
If we're talking DC levels, sure, no problem. Low rate signalling just
won't matter.
At audio levels, the shielding from twisting the wires might be helpful.
If we're actually using them for Ethernet, then the twisted pairs aren't
wires, they're transmission lines. 100 megabit ethernet is running at
100 megahertz.
Wire the cable randomly and you don't have twisted pairs (transmission
lines) at VHF frequencies (or above).

As long as you maintain the same standard or a standard you create on BOTH
ends of the CAT 5 cable this cable could be used anywhere, regardless of
the system used. I understand that maintaining a standard of wire color
codes is important for tracing and troubleshooting purposes.
