Q

What Ethernet cabling technology supports the greatest data transfer speeds?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Different Ethernet standards and their typical speed ranges (e.g., 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps) • The meaning of the word "Gigabit" in data networking • How older Ethernet types (Thick/Thin) compare to more modern standards

💭 Think About

• Arrange the listed technologies in order from oldest/slowest to newest/fastest based on what you know • Think about which of these names directly suggests a speed around 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps) • Ask yourself: which options are mainly about the type of coaxial cable vs. which are about high‑speed twisted pair or fiber Ethernet?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option explicitly refers to 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps) speeds • Confirm which options (Thick/Thin Ethernet) are early 10 Mbps technologies • Make sure you are not confusing 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) with 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
