was that a typo "You can run gig on CAT5 (not CAT5E) " ?

They can do it in some cases, but they technically were not designed for it. Technically the chart is correct.

Oh, and the chart is wrong about CAT5, it most definitely supports 1000Base-T. I can’t imagine how injectors could be a good idea, other than trying to save money in exchange for accepting complexity and unreliability. I asked about length because unless it is 6a the potential for faster speeds later is limited.
