Hello! The foreman installed F / UTP category 6 internet cables for me, despite the fact that the developer installed 5e in the premises. For this reason, sockets for category 5e, and I would not like to specifically buy for category 6. The provider offers the highest possible speed of 500Mb,...

Not. Buy 5E and that's it. In fact, cat 5E is enough up to 1Gb / s.

Now I have nothing to buy The sockets are from the developer (category 5E), the cables were pulled by category 5E, and the foreman put on 6. I was afraid that the 5E socket would support the category 6 cable

Using your nomenclature - you are right socket 5e will not bear cat. 6 - but not a problem, you will have a network in cat. 5e instead of 6 and that's it. If you were worried about compatibility, don't worry. Cat 6 cable will work fine in Cat 5e.

This is exactly called backwards compatibility, it is worth entering this phrase in the future in case of other doubts

Will these backwards compatibility work the same for a Cat5 cable with a Cat6 socket?

Yes. The installation category is always determined by the weakest link, ie the element of the lowest category used. The installation in such a situation will formally be in cat. 5e.

Hello!
The foreman installed F / UTP category 6 internet cables for me, despite the fact that the developer installed 5e in the premises.
For this reason, sockets for category 5e, and I would not like to specifically buy for category 6.
The provider offers the highest possible speed of 500Mb, but I will only be using 100Mb anyway.
Is that a problem?
Regards

Using your nomenclature - you are right socket 5e will not "bear" cat. 6 - but not a problem, you will have a network in cat. 5e instead of 6 and that's it. If you were worried about compatibility, don't worry. Cat 6 "cable will work fine in Cat 5e.

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the compatibility of using an RJ-45 Cat 5E socket with F/UTP Cat 6 cables in a network setup. The user expresses concern about potential issues since the installed sockets are Cat 5E while the cables are Cat 6. Responses clarify that Cat 6 cables are backward compatible with Cat 5E sockets, meaning the network will function at Cat 5E standards without problems. The consensus is that using Cat 6 cables with Cat 5E sockets will not hinder performance, especially since the user plans to operate at 100Mb speeds, which is well within the capabilities of Cat 5E.
