Does anyone know what the physical and visual differences between Cat5 and Cat5e wiring other than that the fact Cat5e can support higher throughput and is 1000BaseT compliant ?

Cat5e has a few more twists in thw wires. Cat5e is not gigabit or 1000Mbits. It can handle 200Mbits. Cat6 is 1000Mbits. no visual diffrence.
Cat5 vs Cat5e
