A Certkiller .com user is unsure of the cabling standards to use when installing a gigabit Ethernet
network. From the following select the best one should they use?

A.
CAT6

B.
CAT5e

C.
CAT5

D.
CAT4

Explanation:
Cat 6-Category – 6, (ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1) is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other
network protocols that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable
standards. Cat-6 features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. The cable
standard provides performance of up to 250 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX and
1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet).
