What is the maximum bandwidth of Cat 5 cables?
100 Mbps
Cat 5 cables are commonly used in Ethernet networks.
What is the maximum frequency for Cat 6 cables?
250 MHz
Cat 6 cables are suitable for high-speed networks.
What is the maximum bandwidth for Cat 6a cables?
10 Gbps
Cat 6a cables can be used for 10GBASE-T networks.
True or False: Cat 5e cables are recognized by TIA.
True
Cat 5e is an enhanced version of Cat 5.
What is the maximum frequency for Cat 7 cables?
600 MHz
Cat 7 cables are designed for high-speed data transmission.
What is the maximum bandwidth of Cat 7a cables?
40-100 Gbps
Cat 7a cables can support higher data rates over short distances.
What is the maximum bandwidth for Cat 8 cables?
25-40 Gbps
Cat 8 cables are intended for data centers and high-performance networks.
Fill in the blank: Cat 6 cables are limited to ______ meters when used with 10GBASE-T networks.
55
This limitation is due to the increased signal loss at higher frequencies.
What is the maximum frequency for Cat 5e cables?
100 MHz
Cat 5e cables improve upon Cat 5 specifications to reduce crosstalk.
What is the maximum frequency for Cat 6a cables?
500 MHz
Cat 6a cables can use the full 100-meter length for 10GBASE-T networks.
True or False: Cat 7 cables are no longer recognized by TIA.
False
Cat 7 cables are still recognized and are suitable for high-speed applications.
What is the maximum bandwidth for Cat 6 cables?
1 Gbps
Cat 6 cables are widely used in local area networks.
What is the status of Cat 3 cables with TIA?
Not recognized
Cat 3 is considered outdated for modern networking.
What is the maximum bandwidth for Cat 5 cables?
100 Mbps
Cat 5 is often used for Fast Ethernet.
Fill in the blank: Cat 7a cables can theoretically support ______ Gbps at 50 meters.
40
This capacity is contingent on maintaining proper installation standards.
