Want cat6 for IP video cameras in an elevator

I am a PM for an elevator maintenance company and I have the task of getting cat 6 into an elevator for IP security cameras. Due to US elevator and electrical code true cat 6 is not used in elevator traveling cables because the minimum wire gauge is 22. I hoped to use use 4 sets of 22 ga twisted/shielded pairs connected to terminal strips at each end and reduced to 24 ga cat 6. Will the increased wire size and/or the terminal strips negatively affect the video signal? Without going fiber optic is there another way I should approach this?
