You will vastly exceed the maximum cable length allowable for USB, which 
is a few feet. Add to that the incorrect characteristic impedance of 
networking cable, and you'll possibly find the range is reduced even 
further.

You might have more luck with RS232 provided the cable (which has now 
become a transmission line) is driven and terminated correctly, which 
won't happen by luck. It will also be very slow.

Basically, forget it  :)
