In short, a cable labeled "Cat 5" doesn't necessarily mean "it fails the Cat 5e spec", but rather, "it was made before and never tested against the 5e spec".
Cat 5 and Cat 5e cables are physically and electrically the same. The difference is that the Cat 5e spec has tighter tolerances, and unlike Cat 6 which coexists with 5/5e, 5e fully replaced Cat 5 when it was released. That means that Cat 5 only means "manufactured before the 5e spec", and many 5 cables actually meet the Cat 5e spec, but they were never tested against that spec. So, again, "try it and find out".
But even if you have a Cat 5 cable that doesn't meet the tighter 5e spec, it still might work for 2.5G because that rating is for a 100-meter cable (basically, a football field). Does your cable only run 1/3 that distance? Well, it will probably be fine because of the shorter distance. Again, "try it and find out".
You'll still benefit from 2.5G speeds on devices linked through this switch, such as accessing SMB file shares.

This was the best one I found, but I don't own this yet - I'm still planning out my 2.5G network:

They been around as long as netgear and tplink for a long time for consumer switches.

Looking for something bigger (16 port), but this will have to suffice for now.
If you have rooms with cable / coax, there are some devices that provide network over those lines at great speed. I am using one that gives you 2.5 to connect between my appletv and my network closet.
