There are special thicker 16 and 18 AWG Digital Electricity cables [1], so you probably wouldn't get that 2kW with CAT6 unless it's just peak power with a low duty cycle. They are rated for 300V so they might actually use close to that.

Oh, that makes more sense! 4 * 300V * 2.3A = 2.76kW It looks like it's totally doable with those cables! But if they're running 300V DC through there... may as well just run 120Vac. The only benefit I see is that they can detect faults on the transmitting end in a sophisticated manner.
