Along with cat 6 wire, there is also cat 5e wire that can be used. Category 5e cable is an enhanced version of the cat 5 wire. It adds specifications for far end crosstalk which is an electromagnetic connectors interference introduced on UTP by close-by wires. The specifications that the cat 5e wire uses is 1000BASE-T which is a standard for gigabit Ethernet over copper wiring. It can be used in cat 5 wiring but is recommended for cat 5e and cat 6 wiring. The main drawback of the cat 5e wiring is that it does not enable longer cable distances for the Ethernet networks.
