I am a little lost in the mixture of cable...

Can I plug a Cat5e UTP wire in to a Cat6 FTP wall socket at one end
and plug other end of that same wire in to a Cat5e UTP wiring frame?

Should I change the wiring frame to Cat6 FTP?

All too true.  I've cabled in the States (in my youth), the UK (in
my older youth) and here in France for 2 decades now (in my ancient
period just prior to death).

;-)

Here in France we have electricity plinths which have a high voltage
bottom track and a low voltage upper track with an 85mm separation
between the two.  I will be running my Ethernet wires in the upper
track...

Thanks,
