" From the CAT5's the solids are data and the whites are ground. "
This is wrong. Using a twisted pair for data/ground adds a lot of capacitance to the data line, so I would expect problems.
I use this wire on my current project, driving 300 LEDs with a Wemos D1 Mini (8266-based, 3.3V). My Wemos is 15 ft from the LEDs. The secret is to use a sacrificial LED to act as a level shifter/data repeater at the start of the cable.
