The thing you're looking for are called Baluns:
For Distributing Audio/Video Via Cat5 Cable
Today's A/V industry has created the need to send high resolution audio and video signals over increasingly long distances of cable. However, the size and cost of the video cabling, especially when long lengths are involved, had created a challenge. As needs and technology change, future cable replacement can be quite costly.
A solution has been developed to tackle this problem. By placing "balun" adaptors at each end, signals can be adapted to be effectively sent over long distances of Cat5 cable.
i found a company that has a whole product page of them.
One of the product pics has this schematic on the actual device:

So you can steal their pinouts and use that.
One easy thing to do would be to just get some 1" or 1.5" flexible plastic conduit and fasten it to the rafters with pipe hangers. This way, you only need to go into the attic once (to install the conduit). All subsequent cable runs can just be fished through the conduit. This type of conduit is readily available at the big box home improvement stores.

I normally would associate FTP with the File Transfer Protocol :)

But to keep the confusion, there are also several variaties of Foil screened Twisted Pairs where (also) the individual pairs are shielded:
So to answer your question, yes, F/UTP is a type FTP and there are others, all suitable for 10GBaseT.
