That was part of the whole point, qasdfdsaq's not meant to be anything specific, apart from me.

VMNG300 has a gigabit port and works fine up to 200mb.

Cat 5 is *supposed* to work up to 100m (i.e. the full length) in gigabit mode, in theory...

The only problem is when el-cheapo cables with half the conductors missing are supplied. In that case, gigabit will simply not work at all - but in all other cases Cat5 will do fine for Gigabit.

As Ignition once said, sucky quality cable is sucky quality cable. Crap quality Cat5e is just certified to suck all the way to 350Mhz.
