Is cat 5e good enough for a 1,000 Mbps network or do I need cat 6? The total run is about 20 feet. Also whats the limit of cat 5e? Will it run 2,000 Mbps? 10,000 Mbps?

What do you mean it runs it at 100 Mhz.? I know what bandwidth is and I know what a Mhz. is but I dont understand how it applys to this application.
