If you use Cat 6 Ethernet copper media, what is the max speed you are capable of on the Ethernet network?

Question

Group of answer choices

40 Gbps

1 Gbps

10 Gbps

100 Mbps

Answer 1

The maximum speed you can achieve using Cat 6 Ethernet copper media is 10 Gbps over short distances (up to 55 meters). For longer distances (up to 100 meters), the maximum speed is 1 Gbps.

So, while 1 Gbps is certainly correct for longer cable lengths, the maximum speed achievable with Cat 6 over shorter distances is 10 Gbps. Therefore, the best answer from your options that represents the maximum potential capacity would be:

10 Gbps.
