Question 87

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

    Correct Answer: B, D

    Both UTP Cat 5e and Cat 6a cabling support speeds of at least 1 Gigabit. Additionally, both types of cables can support runs of up to 100 meters. UTP Cat 5e is designed for a maximum speed of 1 Gbps and Cat 6a can support up to 10 Gbps, but both can handle the 1 Gbps speed required by many networks over a maximum run length of 100 meters.

Here are the common specifications for some popular UTP categories: Cat5: Frequency: Up to 100 MHz Bandwidth: 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) Max Distance: 100 meters (328 feet) Cat5e: Frequency: Up to 100 MHz Bandwidth: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) Max Distance: 100 meters (328 feet) Cat6: Frequency: Up to 250 MHz Bandwidth: 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet) Max Distance: 55 meters (180 feet) for 10 Gbps, 100 meters (328 feet) for 1 Gbps Cat6a: Frequency: Up to 500 MHz Bandwidth: 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet) Max Distance: 100 meters (328 feet) Cat7: Frequency: Up to 600 MHz Bandwidth: 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet) Max Distance: 100 meters (328 feet) Cat8: Frequency: Up to 2 GHz Bandwidth: 25/40 Gbps (25/40 Gigabit Ethernet) Max Distance: 30 meters (98 feet)

Your Freq are wrong.

Marcos9410Options: BD

B and D are correct. UTP Cables CAT 5e: Frecuency: 100 MHz Max. Bandwidth: 1 Gbps Max. Distance: 100 m UTP Cables CAT 6a: Frecuency: 500 MHz Max. Bandwidth: 10 Gbps Max. Distance: 100 m

Smaritz

At least 1 Gbps is a bit misleading, they support at least 10 Mbps also.

RougePotatoeOptions: AD

Ahh another bad question. Cat5e can support 10gig at shorter distances so both could support 10gig. Both could support 100 meter runs. So Technically A,B, and D are correct.

iGlitchOptions: AB

B should be: Both support a maximum speed of 1 Gigabit.

Bonesaw

The maximum speed on Cat6a is 10G, so that would be incorrect

bymrdasOptions: BD

B & D are correct

SeMo0o0oOptions: BD

B & D are correct

NASIR0CITVOptions: BC

UTP CAT5E CAN ONLY SUPPORT UPTO 55M

ZUMYOptions: BD

B & D are fine.
