Which two cable types must be used to connect an access point to the WLC when 2.5-Gbps and 5-Gbps upload speeds are required? (Choose two.)

While 10GBASE-T refers to an Ethernet standard for 10 Gbps, the higher-category cabling it requires (e.g., Cat6a, Cat7) inherently supports the intermediate 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T (NBASE-T) speeds due to backward compatibility and superior performance characteristics. This cabling provides ample bandwidth for the specified requirements. C: Cat 5e cable is officially supported by the 2.5GBASE-T (NBASE-T) standard for distances up to 100 meters and can often support 5GBASE-T over shorter distances, making it a suitable and cost-effective option for these multi-gigabit speeds.

1000BASE-LX/LH is a Gigabit Ethernet standard for fiber optic cables, not copper twisted-pair, and is typically used for longer distances rather than direct AP-to-WLC connections needing multi-gigabit copper.

Cat 5 cable is generally limited to 100 Mbps (100BASE-TX) for reliable operation and is insufficient for 2.5-Gbps or 5-Gbps speeds.

Cat 3 cable is only suitable for 10 Mbps (10BASE-T) and does not meet the requirements for 2.5-Gbps or 5-Gbps speeds.
