I thought cat 5 spec predated existence of gigabit connection? 5e was enhanced to properly support them. Seems something similar has happened with cat 6 apparently works with 10Gb for less than 37m 6a needed for 100m. Which all means I know an office block that was wired with future proof cat6 but no benefit over cat 5 with hindsight!
NB The OPs flat patch cable claimed support for cat 7 as well...
