Hi DeveloperBill. Thank you for your question about the eero 7 and the included CAT5e Ethernet cable. Great news, the CAT5e cable that comes with the eero 7 is more capable than many people realize. A CAT5e cable can actually support speeds up to 10 Gbps, as long as the cable length is under 100 feet. The included CAT5e cable is well-equipped to handle the maximum wired throughput of the system without any additional cable purchase, provided your cable run stays within that 100-foot range. Should you need to place your modem more than 100 ft from your gateway eero, I would then suggest purchasing a CAT6a cable. I hope this information helps! Have a great day!
