Hi

Cat 5e is supported by 1000 Base T specification, you can connect a PC to a Giga switchport and it will work on giga speed.

As Julio already noted, cat5e supports gig.

You might find this web page (http://www.kit-communications.com/FAQCat5evsCat6.htm) of interest because cat5e might even support 10g up to 45m.
