Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6 cables supplied by Netgear with their routers
OK, not sure where to post this but seeing as it applies mostly to my R7000 gigabit routers, I thought I'd try here. Over the years (last 5-6 years or so) I've bought several Netgear routers which came with 1 yellow (WAN) and one dark blue (LAN) ethernet cables. There are no markings of any kind on the outer cable (where it would usually say what category the cable is).
Does anybody know what is the specification of these cable supplied by Netgear with their (gigabit) routers? Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6?
Thanks in advance

Most of the one's I've gotten have been cat 5e.
I haven't checked on my newer devices lately.

Thanks. Were they marked as Cat5e?

Some of them were. Not all.
I couldn't tell you which ones exactly because their mixed up with all my other cables so I'm not sure which ones came from which anymore.
But I do know I checked them out.
