Normal proteon wire is two twisted pairs with grounds.  The stuff
proteon supplies in the 75meter lengths is pretty flimsy stuff,
so you might be able to get away with it.  One pair is a differential
of data going to the interface, the other from.  Power is provided to
wire centers via DC bias between ground and one pair, and the join
ring signal is DC bias between ground and the other pair.
