Which of the following cabling standards can support a maximum transfer rate of 1 Gbps?
  1. CAT3
  2. CAT5e
  3. CAT5
  4. CAT4
Explanation
Answer: B and C-CAT5 and CAT5e standards have a maximum transfer rates of 1 Gbps with the use of all four pairs.

Key Takeaway: CAT5e cable is an enhanced version of CAT5 that adds specifications for far end crosstalk. It does not enable longer cable distances for Ethernet networks and the limit of the cable length is still a maximum of 100 m in length. CAT3 standards have a maximum transfer rate of 10 Mbps. CAT4 standards have a maximum transfer rate of 16 Mbps. CAT5 standards have a maximum transfer rate of 100 Mbps.
