Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both Cat 5e and Cat 6 can carry Ethernet traffic up to 100 meters, but Cat 6 has a higher capacity for speed and therefore can carry traffic at 1 Gbps. Cat 5e can only carry traffic up to 100 Mbps. While Cat 6 can technically carry traffic up to 10 Gbps, it is only guaranteed up to 55 meters, so the answer of C, 1 Gbps, is the most reliable and accurate option.
