Single pack, 15 foot, Cat 7 White $1.91

Also available in black for $3.03

For reference, CAT7 Can do 1 gig through 10 gig (including 2.5 gig and 5 gig) up to 328 feet. It may be able to support 25G and 40G over short distances, but is not spec'd for it. At that point, you should be looking at fiber optic, as even CAT8 can only do these speeds at about 100 feet max and is really pushing the limits of what copper cabling can do.
5 Pack, 7 foot, Cat 6, White $5.64 after clipping 5% coupon

CAT6 can do 1 gig, 2.5 gig, or 5 gig up to 328 feet but 10 gig only to about 180 feet (often less to get full throughput and no loss). If doing 10 gig, better to stick with CAT6A or higher. Even 5 gig is pushing the limits and makes sense to step up to 6A or 7 for that.
10 pack, 14 foot, Cat 5e, Light Grey $8.87
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasi...B07D6M6M5D
CAT5e Can do 1 gig or 2.5 gig up to 328 feet. 5 gig or 10 gig might work at very short distances but not rated for that. Even 2.5 gig is pushing the limits of CAT5e, while it should work fine, makes sense to go up to 6, 6A, or 7 for that.
Clearly all these cables are under the distance limits, just pointing out the differences for those not aware (and since this patch cable may be used along with building wiring, you need to ensure you're under the total distance).
With the amazon basics "clearing out" that is going on, others will likely pop up. Use link

Do I really need to say that shipping is free over $25 or with Prime? Well, just in case, I did.

I don't think they're overstocked, I think they're discontinuing. Just a guess, seems unlikely that this massive array of items were all stuck on freighters. I think we're going to start seeing a lot of new Amazon brands like they've already done for health care, home furnishings, etc.
The fact that many of these deals are selling out quickly supports that theory somewhat, if they really had a massive glut of inventory I don't think the deals would be dying so quickly.
