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.

zx10guy is correct. Transmission rates are always measured in bits. Storage gets the 1024MB (not 1024Mb) =Gig because these are measured in bytes.
