I was given four 7ft network cables, I was wondering if they are OK to use
in my home network. Right now I have just the blue 5e cables in my network.
The writing on these cables is as follows:
Enhanced 350MHZ Patch Cord 2835 E87647-DG AWM 60° C 30V LL58663 CSA AWM
I A 80° C 30V FT1 ETL Verified to EIA TIA568A CAT5e DRAFT 8b
 
The colour are meaningless.
You should see if the cables are cross thu or stright.
Cross cables can link between PC-PC while stright can link between
PC-routers/hubs/switch.

"TIA568A CAT5e" means that they're fine for networking.

To tell whether you have a regular or crossover cable, hold the two
ends together in the same orientation. If the wire colors are in the
same order on both ends, it's a regular cable. If wires 1-2 and 3-6
are reversed between the ends, it's a crossover cable.
