Who cares about 5e? Maybe if it's embedded in your wall, but how many people have done that?

A 25 foot cable on monoprice costs $6.49 for cat5e and $7.99 for cat6. It doesn't matter at all.

I could get cat8 for $22.49! Compared to what you're plugging that into for 25/40Gbps that's nothing.

The last batch of cables I bought was 5x 10 foot cat7, for $22 total. (You're not 'supposed' to put normal plugs on cat7 but nobody really cares.)
