Cat5e vs Cat6A – Can Cat5e Really Do 10Gbps?!

📺 Video Description:
Cat5e vs Cat6A – Can Cat5e Really Do 10Gbps?!
In this video, I put Cat5e and Cat6A Ethernet cables to the test with a real 10G setup!
We compare both cables side-by-side to see if Cat5e can actually handle 10 Gigabit Ethernet — or if you really need to upgrade to Cat6A for 10G speeds.
I’ll run real-world speed tests, share my results, and bust the myth that Cat5e “can’t do 10G.” Spoiler: it’s all about cable quality and distance!
