Very old Cat5 is dodgy, but 5e is normally fine for short runs.
Good advice to check each segment individually, as I wasn't getting gigabit across the house in both directions, but found it was due to one cable that had been kinked too hard and lost a pair. Ironically was a short bit of still shiny new cable, not the 30m segment of older very much used looking wire which had been bent around lots of corners in my old house. Replacing that 5m section gave me ~970mbs each way.

They were at one point my previous firms accountants. They told us how to break the law and make a lot of money. By 'dressing' the company accounts prior to flotation.
A bit like El Trump is accused of these days.
Really, if he was a democrat no one would have cared.
According to the standards, Cat5e is sufficient for 1000BaseT over the full
100m - if it is properly installed and not damaged.cu Michael
I dunno what I installed back in the day. 2001? whatever was current then
Hmm on the cusp between 5 and 5e.
