CAT 5E is intended for GbE but it's recommended that you use CAT 6 for data integrity if you do alot of video conferencing/streaming/whatnot over your network. I believe CAT 5E/6 also has a longer effective range before signal dropoff/degradation occurs
Might be something more to research there since that sounds like what you guys are doing.
