Are you certain? I have seen that CAT5E - but thought it was only good to 300 - 400 MBPs.

The packaging on the CAT5e I ended up buying said it is good to 1000Mbps. If you do a search, most vendors claim it is good to that speed.
google.com

It's my understanding that some of the new multi-mode fiber solutions are even cheaper than CAT5/5e cabling.

The cable is good to 350 MHz but with the ethernet encoding, it allows the transmission of 1Gb/sec data rates.

I remember seeing a formula that MHz = Bit Rate / 0.35 so it works out.
