Re: source for 24AWG / 4 conductor white

OK, assume a PoE camera and PIR are co-located with a 75' run to an
equipment rack.  The PIR has an 8-position mini terminal block and consumes
9 mA, a fraction of the power consumed by the PoE camera.  Why is 24 AWG / 8
conductor UTP Cat 5 the cable of choice for the PoE camera but is considered
unacceptable for the PIR?

Best,
