CAT5e can be used for some higher speeds however it's not really recommended. CAT6A STP cabling is recommended for 2.5 up to 10Gb connection speeds. I tend to keep CAT5e for 1Gb and lower.

An odd issue I ran into with my XS505M after installing it years ago, Apple TV would crash the LAN network system for unknown reasons. Turns out how I had the XS505M connected between the router and the SFP port was the cause.
Summary:
RBRE960 2.5Gb port > XS505M SFP > XS505M Ethernet 10Gb port > GS110MX Ethernet 10Gb port < ATV fails
RBRE960 2.5Gb port > XS505M Ethernet port > XS505M SFP 10Gb port > GS110MX 10Gb Ethernet port < ATV works
After connecting the 2ndary downstream switch to the XS SFP port, have had zero issues since.
