Cat 5 Wire
Ethernet Cable comes with twisted pair wires that are designed for single transmission. They are easily found since many come bundles with consumer electronics devices
Connection Module
To get a Cat 5 cable to connect to and Arduino, use a module.
Capacitors for Noise
Use Cat 5 and one pair for power / GND and the other pair for signal and GND. A 100 nf ceramic capacitor from the Arduino input pin to ground can help filter out RF interference

Difference between bypass / decoupling capacitors
RS422 or RS485
Use RS422 or RS485 and twisted pair need MAX485 TTL to RS-485 Interface Module

Without using specific module - debouncing may help with just plain twisted pair wires.
