No, not necessarily. As long as insulation rating and wiring class are the same then perfectly OK by code. However, yeah it would be tough to make Network Cat 5 meet class 1, to be able to do so.
Note, electrical code does not care about the "EMF" levels of running Cat5 beside line voltage power.
When I wired my garage I buried #8 3c teck for power and placed a direct burial Cat5 beside it in the same trench in the ground. About 100' run, no issues in terms of noise.
