Using Cat5e cable with Cat5 jack?? Can I still get gigabit?
Hey Guys,
I have been running cat5e cable and have been using the Leviton quickport cat5e jacks to terminate the cables. However, I noticed that a couple of my jacks say just “cat5″ instead of “cat5e” like the other ones.

So, my question is does it matter that it says just cat5 on that jack? Can I still get gigabit as long as I use a cat5e cable with that jack (by this I mean cat5e cable in the walls)?
