Given that cat5E and cat6 both use RJ45 connections, and are designed to run faster, it is possible to run faster speeds over such a physical port. After accounting for the cable grading in use, the controller hardware is typically why such low (by modern standards) maximum speeds are quoted. Delightfully, this is actually mentioned for the Corinex powerline units
