    It is being pushed beyond its ratings, so there’s no guarantees that it will work. There’s no harm in trying Cat5e at higher speeds if it’s already installed, but don’t install it with the intention of using it at more than 2.5G.

          Anecdotal, but I’m doing 10g over a 100ft 5e cable. It’s not technically supported, but it does work on short runs.

            I’m hoping for the best I can get right now. 1G is the choke point and rated speed, but I’ll take anything better if I don’t have to restring that cable.

            My fastest current devices are 2.5gE, but I mostly want to loosen the choke point

              I like my Zyxel multi-gig switches, but I’ve heard others complain about lack of features. They get the job done for 2.5, 5, & 10gb

                I had last looked about a year ago, and even simple switches were expensive. What a difference! I might have to do that
