No need.
It is Extra-Low Voltage.
I know CAT 5e is ELV, I have never earthed CAT 5e back boxes before just like I have never seen a TV Arial or telephone back box earthed. Just I wondered if it may be required for lighting protection or because of near by main LV cables, etc...

They cannot be exposed-conductive-parts without LV(240V) connections nor likely to be extraneous-conductive-parts.
Do you mean lightning? I don't think it would help.
Not just because they are nearby.
