No.

You do not need shielded wire unless you know that you have a noisy 
environment, which is very, very, unlikely.

Cat5, nevermind Cat5e or Cat6, is overkill for a DS1/T1 line's frequency 
needs, but it is a good choice because it's cheap.  Be sure to use 
plenum/horizontal cable if this cable is transversing outside of the 
room, so that you meet fire code.  Don't use patch/vertical/PVC cable.

Just get a pair of wall mount "biscuit block/boxes" and run it 
straight-through, pins 1-1, 2-2,... 8-8.  TIA 586B is usually more 
common, but it doesn't really matter if you use A or B.
