10GB Ethernet requires at least CAT6 or CAT6a cabling. CAT5e is insufficient. For home use, that means that the newer standards of 2.5GB and 5GB which do work over 5e are more reasonable for personal computers.

- Dylan16807 5y agoWho cares about 5e? Maybe if it's embedded in your wall, but how many people have done that? A 25 foot cable on monoprice costs $6.49 for cat5e and $7.99 for cat6. It doesn't matter at all. I could get cat8 for $22.49! Compared to what you're plugging that into for 25/40Gbps that's nothing. The last batch of cables I bought was 5x 10 foot cat7, for $22 total. (You're not 'supposed' to put normal plugs on cat7 but nobody really cares.)
