KAT5 is used for line level audio/video (from source to amp/monitor) 
you would still need an amp between the KAT5 and the speakers. CAT5 
is not really suitable for direct connection to speakers either. I 
and many others installed speaker wire to rooms as well as cat5 so 
that distributed audio could be achieved with multiple speakers and a 
central amp.
