Which of the following cable types has a MAXIMUM transfer speed greater than 1 Gbps?
The correct answer is A. CAT6. CAT6 (Category 6) cable supports speeds up to 10 Gbps at distances up to 55 meters (and 1 Gbps up to 100 meters), making it the only option here with a maximum speed greater than 1 Gbps. CAT5 supports up to 100 Mbps. CAT5e (enhanced) supports up to 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps). STP…

Explanation
CAT6 (Category 6) cable supports speeds up to 10 Gbps at distances up to 55 meters (and 1 Gbps up to 100 meters), making it the only option here with a maximum speed greater than 1 Gbps. CAT5 supports up to 100 Mbps. CAT5e (enhanced) supports up to 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps). STP describes a shielding type rather than a category standard - its speed depends on the underlying cable category. CAT6 and CAT6a (up to 10 Gbps at 100m) are the go-to choices when speeds above 1 Gbps are required.
