Is all CAT5E gigabit rated?

[ltickett]

I need to buy a new reel of patch (still have quite a bit of structured) and the cheapest one I can find on eBay only states 100Mbit; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305M-1000...-Connectors-/400745760147?hash=item5d4e4f0593

I was under the impression all cat5e was rated at 1gbit?

you are right 5E is gigabit certified.

i think they got i wrong the 100Mbit is properly 100MHz.

I'm running lots of CAT5 nonE which will do gigabit speeds for standard large file transfers.

Not sure how this would hold up in an enterprise scenario though.

That's looks like CCA which is utter shit.

It's hard to tell with that listing exactly what you are getting. Real 5E can do Gigabit, yes. That listing just looks a little sketchy..

You don't want the cheapest cable as that is usually CCA which I don't believe actually meets spec.

If you looking for cable check out http://www.monoprice.comThey even have CAT6. If memory serves me right I do believe you can by spools as well.

Manufacturers of cheap cable use the CAT rating system loosely. That cable is very likely super thin CCA cable as noted earlier.
