But if you're rocking some of the new(ish) 1 or 2 Gbps Fiber connections, you minimally want Cat 6 installed, and especially if you're hardwiring anything. Go ahead and go run some speedtests.
Don't take my word for it, you can find all the info you need all over the internet.

My point though was that no one is going to get 40Gbps of speed on a copper ethernet cable. I mean, we are just now starting to get 2.5Gbps nics out there. There is no 40Gpbs copper ethernet adapters out there so it seems silly to market a speed that no one can get.

Yes, up to 100m (~320ft) there is little to no signal degradation in cat5e or cat6.
*golfclap*
Not sure the intention, but anyways if there is lengths of wire running, cat6 is better.
If it's wifi then whatever.

Though if you somehow have a connection faster than 1 Gbps, then sure, upgrade to Cat 6. The price difference is negligible, and it allows you to futureproof yourself.
