Which of the following twisted pair cables supports 10GBASE-T data transmission speed?

Options

  • ACat 3
  • BCat 5
  • CCat 5e
  • DCat 6a

Explanation

{"question_number": 6, "question": "Which of the following twisted pair cables supports 10GBASE-T data transmission speed?", "correct_answer": "D", "explanation": "Cat 6a (Category 6 Augmented) is the minimum cable standard required to support 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet) at the full standard distance of 100 meters. Cat 6 can support 10GbE but only at reduced distances (up to ~55 meters). Cat 5e (C) tops out at 1 Gbps (1000BASE-T). Cat 5 (B) supports up to 100 Mbps (100BASE-TX). Cat 3 (A) supports only up to 10 Mbps and is largely obsolete. For exam purposes: Cat 6a = 10 Gbps at 100m is a key fact to memorize.", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 4}
