Gigabit it specifically designed to work on Cat 5 cable and does not require Cat 5e.

Cat 5 should theoretically carry gigabit up to the maximum 100 metres, though in practice cheaper cables and/or interference often limits that.
(That said the 'Yellow' cables I got with my VM service back in the 'Burgh last decade were 5e)
