It is capable of those speeds, does not mean your internet provider is letting you get anywhere close to cat5E speeds. |

Thank you JDFan. Yes, Cat5e is absolutely rated for a Gig. I would suspect crimping or termination issues with not being able to run Gig over Cat5e before I would suspect the cable itself. |

Once I made my own CAT6 cables all was good :D (well, except my poor fingers :P ) |
