Cat 5e supports gigabit speeds. The problem might stem from a router lacking that speed, a switch not being compatible, or an issue with the Cat 5 cable itself.
All ports support gigabit speeds, which is a positive feature. The next step would be to download the specific LAN driver from the motherboard manufacturer's website. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, there may be a problem with the negotiation process—check if Windows offers an option to enforce gigabit only instead of allowing lower speeds.
It might be a faulty connection, would you consider other options? Or test the same cable on another device with a gigabit LAN?
Cat5e supports gigabit speeds. Cat5 offers 100Mbps, making it less likely he would use Cat5e.
Sure, I believe I accidentally bought this cable through a scam.
