Which of the following cable types is used to transmit data from a satellite dish to the satellite modem?

CAT5e is a twisted-pair Ethernet cable rated for 1 Gbps network data, not RF signal transmission from satellite dishes.

CAT3 is an older twisted-pair cable rated for telephone and 10BASE-T Ethernet, and cannot carry RF satellite signals.

Fiber optic cable transmits data as light pulses and is used for high-speed networking infrastructure, not for connecting satellite dishes to modems.

RG-6 is a 75-ohm coaxial cable specifically designed for satellite and cable TV signal transmission. Its construction and shielding are optimized for high-frequency RF signals, making it the standard cable run from a satellite dish to the modem or receiver.
