According to wikipedia, there should be a (gentle) twist rate for each pair:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_5e#Category_5e
Individual twist lengths
By altering the length of each twist,
crosstalk<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosstalk_(electronics)>is
reduced, without affecting the characteristic
impedance
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_impedance>.[10]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_5e#cite_note-prc88_cat5_turns-9>
[*dubious <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disputed_statement> –
discuss<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Category_5_cable#Individual_twist_lengths>
*] The distance per twist is commonly referred to as pitch.
Pair color [cm] per turn Turns per [m] Green 1.53 65.2 Blue 1.54 64.8
Orange 1.78 56.2 Brown 1.94 51.7
Is it possible that you removed the twist when you stripped the outer
covering?
In any case, I suspect your cable will work for 1-wire.
