Category 5e or better will support 1 gigabit speeds but category 6 and 7 are supposed to be a little better at noise supression. If I were installing new cable, I would likely use CAT 6 or 7 instead of 5e. If you are making your own cable connections and intend to use 1 gig speeds, you should really test each cable with a GOOD cable tester that tests noise and not just continuity.
