Only on this forum could such a basic question cause such debate.
Try running it anywhere near HT/EHT or RF equipment and cat5e falls over like a limp lettuce leaf At least cat6 tends to have more image rejection properties. In the home environment anything like a microwave close by can severely degrade performance.
