Dear Dan,

I am not aware of any cable design that mixes low-voltage and power cables in one bundle. However, if all you want is to power something like an IP-based surveillance camera outdoors, you may use the remaining two pairs of AWG24 to deliver up to 2A current to the device. You would obviously need to use outdoor-rated CAT5 cable for your purpose.

Sincerely,
Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD
