CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 368

What are two similarities between UTP Cat 5e and Cat 6a cabling? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Both support speeds up to 10 Gigabit.
• B. Both support speeds of at least 1 Gigabit.
• C. Both support runs of up to 55 meters.
• D. Both support runs of up to 100 meters.
• E. Both operate at a frequency of 500 MHz.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers are B and D because both UTP Cat 5e and Cat 6a cables are designed to support speeds of at least 1 Gigabit and can maintain a maximum run length of 100 meters. Options A, C, and E are incorrect because not all Cat 5e cables can support 10 Gigabit speeds, Cat 6a supports longer distances than 55 meters, and the frequency capabilities differ.
