CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 35

Which of the following Ethernet cables would BEST support an application that requires a 600Mbps throughput at the lowest price point?

Answer options

• A. Cat 3
• B. Cat 5
• C. Cat 5e
• D. Cat 6

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Cat 5e is capable of supporting up to 1Gbps, making it suitable for the required 600Mbps throughput. Cat 3 and Cat 5 do not support this level of throughput effectively, while Cat 6, while capable, is generally more expensive than Cat 5e.
