Maybe you need to educate Cisco....

"Gigabit Ethernet builds on top of the Ethernet protocol, but increases speed tenfold over Fast Ethernet to 1000 Mbps, or 1 gigabit per second (Gbps)."
Dude you can have it. You win. I'm counting in binary you in decimal. I guess the world is going to accept it as decimal.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit
In binary, the next bit placeholder after 512 is 1024. (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024) so in binary: 1 KB = 1024 bits, 1 MB = 1024 KB, 1 GB = 1024 MB

Sorry for the OP. But bottom line, I think everyone can agree that you're good with cat 5e.
