I originally thought you were using cat3 for PIR's that were part of
an alarm system. For the application you mentioned I'm sure cat3 or
cat5 will be fine and make the most sense. I would probably stick with
high quality cat5 even for the PIR's as it tends to be better
insulated and a little tougher than most cat3 I've seen.
