Agreed. I would use cat5 For the signal and the appropriate wire for the supply and wire loom them together to give that clean look.

Thank you for your help.

If you aren't using all pairs of the cat5, you could double up the wires to carry more current. It looks like Cat 5 is about 24 gauge which can handle about 2 amps.

I personally would run thicker power wire verses cat 5.
