CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 291

A technician needs to order cable that meets 10GBaseT and fire safety requirements for an installation between a drop ceiling and a standard ceiling. Which of the following should the technician order to ensure compliance with the requirements?

Answer options

• A. PVC Cat 5
• B. Plenum Cat 5e
• C. Plenum Cat 6a
• D. PVC Cat 7

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Plenum Cat 6a, as it is designed for use in plenum spaces and supports 10GBaseT. The other options, such as PVC Cat 5 and PVC Cat 7, do not meet the fire safety requirements, while Plenum Cat 5e may not support the necessary data rates.
