Need Ethernet between points A and B, we have 16AWG TW pairs between A & B, can we convert?

(OP)
Our new meter located at our transformer came with an Ethernet connection point that would give us a lot of info on our PLC.
We have lots of spare #16AWG shielded twisted pairs close by the transformer jbox. Is it possible to convert a couple of pairs of this #16 and run the Ethernet signal over these cables?

You will almost certainly be able to run RS-485 over a twisted pair provided the distance isn't too long and you keep the Baud rate down. As distance and/or speed increases it becomes less forgiving of cable which doesn't meet the required spec.

Only need two pair for Ethernet don't you?

I think the latest flyer said they could put Ethernet down barbed wire. It would be interesting to demo for sure.
I Googled "ethernet over fieldbus wiring."
