Ethernet patch cable 5e with cat 6e


Maybe a dumb question, but I am using a patch Cable 5e to further connect a cat 6e Ethernet cable. Does use of the 5e negate the impact of 6e? I like the 6e because it's insulated better.  Isn't 5e older and pretty much out of date?

I would like to hear from people who have actually compared the two types, to see if the shielding makes any notable difference, rather than speculation.
