Cat 5 and Cat 5e are discriptions of the wire. Therefore if you wanted to upgrade you would have to change the wiring. In a home use the increase in performance really wouldn't be of any advantage. Personally I don't feel even in a business performance that it is cost effectived to upgrade cost versus the performance gain is not worth it. If you had say cat 3 sure going to cat 5 would be well worth it. Stick with the cat 5 heck most computer equipment don't have the capability to use all the capacity of the cat 5
You can use the Cat6 in place of the Cat5e but not the other way around. It is a higher rating than the Cat5e.
UTP is unshielded. Cheaper. STP is shielded.. more expensive.
Use Category 5e cable, it is more slightly more enhanced than Category 5. If your internet download speed is 15+mbps , use Category 6.
Any of our 50ft Cat5e Ethernet Patch cables will work great.
yes
Yes, you can certainly use both cables in the same network.Yes, you can certainly use both cables in the same network.Yes, you can certainly use both cables in the same network.Yes, you can certainly use both cables in the same network.

Assuming you mean Cat5 and Cat5e, Category 5 and Category 5 Enhanced Unshielded Twisted Pair networking wire, the major difference is tighter control on the twists per inch on the wire pairs, and tighter tolerance on the capacitance per linear foot. Cat5 UTP cable will carry up to 100 megabits per second reliably. In theory, Cat5e UTP cable can carry up to 1000 megabits per second, but in actual usage, most gigabit network hardware will degrade to 300 megabits per second when transmitting over Cat5e cable.
All of our cables meet or exceed the TIA standard rating. The TIA rating for Cat5e is 100MHz.
100 meters per segment.
100m or 328ft.
Cat5e is 100 mbps.
