Explanation
CAT5e (Category 5 enhanced) supports a maximum transfer rate of 1 Gbps (1000BASE-T) over distances up to 100 meters. CAT3 tops out at 10 Mbps, CAT5 at 100 Mbps, and CAT6 goes beyond 1 Gbps (up to 10 Gbps over short distances). CAT5e was specifically designed to reduce crosstalk and support Gigabit Ethernet, making it the correct match for the 1 Gbps maximum stated in the question.
