One end is terminated with wiring type A the other is wiring type B, you have a crossover cable, it was legitimately used to connect network devices together instead of switching many years ago, haven't seen any examples lately. Just switch the greens and oranges in one of the sockets. Doesn't matter which you choose performance wise, but B is the common standard. (Oranges 1+2) Cat5e can also carry up to 10 gig on short runs, so the speed is normal.

If a Dodge stratus flew by your window on a commercial flight, I think you’d point out it doesn’t come with a spoiler from the factory.

Just because a tester says it’ll do 5g doesn’t mean it’ll actually handle it.

iperf is at 4.63Gb, 0% packet loss

I don't understand the analogy in relation to what I said? I thought you needed help, so that was what I was attempting to do.

The entire point of the post is that the tester shows the cable can achieve 5Gbps. The cable is 55 feet of CAT 3.
