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?

cat5e runs at gigabit @ 100Mhz bandwidth

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.
