Not true.
Cat 5 MUST run up to 100m (more in practice).
What's more, my 20-year-old kat5 installation works on gigabit because it "forgot" that it was not supposed to work.
Only there were no strange compromises and the assembly was correct (sockets and panels, not plugs, and only millimeter-long plating on these panels).
Bad ballerina ...
For posterity, a few words from physics / information theory.
one concept is the difference in "analog" frequency and the possibility of superimposing a higher / lower bit rate on it.
According to Shanon, in schools it is interpreted as a religious principle that to transmit N bits / s you need 2xN hertz. Almost like this.
Except that a gigabyte would never be.
However, with high channel quality (noise, phase shifts), you can push more bits than hertz through multiple modulations, subtly modifying the phase, level (professionals forgive the simplifications). This is how gigabit ethernet is realized.
The pairs in the twisted pair are not pairs of two wires that can be detected with an ohmmeter. In other words, any two wires are not a pair.
These are specific pairs, with a specific weave, with very well-defined high-frequency parameters.
Earning plugs, too long untangling twisted cables and many subtle factors (I'm not talking about Chinese cables, because it's obvious)

It follows from the above, that gigabit ethernet not only detects the order of pairs in the cable as if we did not twist it wrong there ... but also polarities in case some genius "crossed" the wires within a pair.
not true. Excessive mental shortcut

true (although rarely devices will go crazy on some makeshift cables)

If so, for 1GB connection, you need to swap not only the orange and green pairs, but also the blue and brown pairs.
NOT TRUE.
And it is of great importance.
Structured cabling (as understood by professionals) can be fully used for telephony. On your idea, on the first ring, there is smoke coming from the ethenrnet card.
The newer inventions (not yet standardized) include PoE power.
False rumors about cables should not be tolerated
(Historically, before the Auto MDI-MDIX era, ONLY orange to green pairs were patched. Blue was ALWAYS middle and Christmas.)

At 50 meters, sometimes, and with FastEthernet, miracles happen on such cables.
Miracles are and happen on 15-20m of a badly assembled cable (e.g. pairs understood as an ohmmeter)

1. I will agree
2. (very) little it matters
