You need a fair amount of wire to get any amount of copper. According to this site 24 gauge copper wire of 817.7 feet weighs one pound. Divided by 8 (strands in cat 5) yields a little more than 102 feet needed to get a pound of copper.
Then discount that price based on all the insullation that needs to be used.
