Not really. Most, in fact will work fine.
Don't confuse a speed rating with actual performance. Just because a cable isn't rated for 10G doesn't mean it can't perform at that rate. For the most part, the 1.3 rating is just more marketing hype designed to sell you a new set of cables that you don't need.
