You will not have a problem at all. Most telephone company services (including DSL) that terminate in a residential network interface don't require anything nearly as complex as CAT5 wiring. It's really more of a buzz word in residential construction because voice communication has been handled even by non-categorized cable for over a century.

If it will make you feel more comfortable, a few layers of good-quality electrical tape spiral-wrapped around the exposed cable(s) will be more than adequate.
