The Category 5e specification improves upon the Category 5 specification by further mitigating crosstalk. The bandwidth (100 MHz) and physical construction are the same between the two, and most Cat 5 cables actually happen to meet Cat 5e specifications even though they are not certified as such.
I did kinda mean it as a joke originally, but yeah 5/5e are the same outside of crosstalk resistance.
Well if they’re only getting 10Mbps over Cat5 then the cable’s busted, since normally they’re rated for 2.5GbE.
Nope, Cat5 was nominally rated for 100 MHz, but was superseded by Cat5e for greater reliability at such speeds
