After a little checking I found out that you can now run 2.5GBase-T (2.5 gigabits per second) on cat 5e copper cable. You can run up to 5GBase-T on category 6 cable and up to 10GBase-T on category 6a cable. All of these are rated for up to 100 meters of cable length.
Yo can also run 10GBase-T on Category 6 up to 50 meters.
All of this is from the encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
Of course you need to have the matching terminations and not untwist the cable ends too much etc.
