The thing to do is either match or exceeed the line wiring gauge with whatever wiring used in the filter so the upstream breaker can protect the filter without a fuse, OR add a fuse suitable to protect whatever wiring you are using inside the filter.
Also, I'd be using wiring with insulation rated to take line voltages. The cat5 will probably work but if it isn't rated for the task there is no telling how reliable it will be. The last thing you want is some unknown failure energizing some metallic piece a loved one comes into contact with.
Here it just hurts a bit if your lucky, they tell me mistakes in EU are more likely to be deadly due to the higher voltages there.
