Cat5e was rolled out much earlier than the Cat6a cable. It was ideal for the most commonly used applications at the time. But when the Cat6a cable was introduced, the networking requirements were much more advanced, and it has to cater to those. So, the Cat6a cable 1000ft has a much faster data transmission rate than the Cat5e. Additionally, it has a better resistance against crosstalk and interference because of its design which includes a spline/wire separator to separate the conductor pairs.
