I'd say get cat5 as the only difference is the twist in the cable.

Hi all,

I need to get some long ethernet cabling for my home network (around 35ft). I currently have a gigabit switch want to ensure that the cable can accommodate gigabit ethernet speedFor the machines that are hard wired, I currently use cat 5e. Looking on NewEgg I see cat 5e and cat 6 cables.

What's the difference between the two? Do I need to get
Cat 6  or will Cat 5e accommodate gigabit network speeds?

Thanks!
Peter
