I think we stopped purchasing cat 5 in 2001 and went strictly cat 6 way back when.
One qualification is in order...Are we comparing "CAT 5" and "CAT 6" or "CAT 5e" and "CAT 6?"
Anyone using [actual] CAT 5 at this point for anything but phone, low bandwidth control and/or voltage triggers ought not be doing that, IMHO.
