CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 239

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

Answer options

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Cat 6a is designed to support 10GBASE-T data transmission over longer distances compared to other categories. Cat 3, Cat 5, and Cat 5e are insufficient for 10GBASE-T speeds, with Cat 5e only supporting up to 1 Gbps, making them unsuitable for this requirement.
