Although you can do 10Gbase-T over Cat5e for xx number of small meters
as well (I think Arista used to say 20m in general, but not spec'd,
and nothing guaranteed).  I've done around 12m runs of cat5e on
10Gbase-T without issues, but would usually replace with cat6 in general. 
But yeah, inwall cabling would generally be too long for that. 

The NBASE-T speeds are popular in WiFi AP as the speeds one could get under ideal
circumstances started pushing over 1G limits.
