Your Cat 5 cable lasted 12 years probably because it was manufactured in Australia using Australian copper and Polyethylene etc
Good luck with your new Cat 6 cable from China , typically a 1 in 10 failure rate
Although your possibly not pushing the full bandwidth
I worked in the electrical industry for 42 years and noticed many types of electrical cables and equipment ( including data cables ) started having higher than acceptable failure rates as soon as we lost a majority of the manufacturing market in Australia ( around 10 to 12 years ago ) to the Chinese
That’s Progress I suppose
