Question #: 340
Topic #: 1
Which of the following is the maximum distance Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6a cables can be ran?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

The maximum distance that Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6a cables can be ran is 100 meters or 328 feet, according to the TIA/EIA standards. This is the maximum length for a cable segment, which is the distance between two devices, such as a switch and a computer, or a router and a printer. If the cable segment exceeds this length, the signal quality may degrade and cause errors or loss of data. Therefore, it is important to measure the cable length before installation and use repeaters or extenders if necessary.
