Cat-5 has specs. Bending specs. Insulation specs. Power distance specs.
Transformer distance specs.
Bend it too much, run it by the wrong source, it might as well be
Cat-3. Cat-5 is not just cable, it's about cable use. Beyond 568/A
568/B, there are tons of issues. I've doubled throughput in some sites
just by changing cable runs.

Watch all of your unshielded data sources, and conduits. Cat-5 cable
can become a Cat-3 run with one sharp corner.
