Yes, it’s 5E. I thought that cat5e maxes out at 2.5GBit. Honestly, none of my devices would benefit from 2.5Gbit in a significantly way. I run some cloud backups in the night and it’s ok if it takes extra 5 minutes.

You can try, depending on length 10Gbit are achievable.
I've been able to get 10G over a shoddy 100ft cat5e run. Give it a shot! It's fun!
