You're considering switching from WiFi to Ethernet for your PC. Since your walls only have Cat5e ports, you'll need to check if Cat6 cables offer better performance over those connections. Let me know if you'd like more details!
Cat5e supports data rates up to 2.5gbps. To achieve faster connections, use Cat6 or Cat6a cables.
Connectors remain identical, yet the cables feature superior shielding via Cat 6. This enhances performance by reducing interference. The improvement stems from increased capacitance between the twisted wire pairs.
Unless you purchase a 10Gbit switch or router, the choice between Cat5e and Cat6 doesn't affect gigabit performance.
Referred to CAT 5e as a solution for gigabit requirements. -Updated to networking section.
