The cable is certified as CAT 8.1 and, according to official specifications, is designed for transmission rates of up to 40 Gbit/s, which is significantly higher than 10 Gbit/s. The specification "max. transmission rate 5 GB/s" is unusual, as the CAT 8.1 standard actually supports 40 GBit/s - there could be an error in the product description or it is a special, non-standardised variant. A CAT 8.1 cable is generally suitable for reliable 10 GBit/s connections, provided that all components in the network (e.g. router, switch, network cards) also support this standard.
If you are unsure, it is best to check the manufacturer's exact product description or contact support to clarify the exact specification.
