CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 46

A company needs to support a 10Gbps throughput. Which of the following is the MINIMUM cable category that could be used?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The minimum cable category that supports 10Gbps throughput is Cat 6, which can handle this speed up to 55 meters. Cat 5 and Cat 5e are not sufficient for this level of performance, while Cat 6a can also support 10Gbps but is not the minimum requirement.
