hi there
we manage numerous internet connections from our central 100mbps leased line. i end up testing these by carrying an old netbook around and plugging into the cat5 ports. does anyone know of a usb - cat5 lead i could use for my note 3, then i can use the speedtest android app to test the cat5 internet connection?

The same search turned up several microUSB-Cat5 adaptors. One example is this.
