Thanks Ian to clear things out here in more details.

Wiki refers(8) to some specs some specs differences between 5 and 5e. So for example the construction for a CAT5e is still UTP but have better specs or it's a different construction.

In my understanding the letters are abbreviations of the construction (in the standard only - in reality it get mixed with common industry abbreviations) so (for example) the Cat5e has to be still a UTP?

Can you bring up more light here?
