A company is expanding its office and needs to install new network cabling. The network design requires a Gigabit Ethernet cable that is capable of supporting data transmission up to 100 meters with a reduced chance of crosstalk and system noise. Which type of cable is BEST suited for this application?
Coaxial
Optical fiber
Cat 6
Cat 5e
Cat 6 cables are designed to support Gigabit Ethernet standards (1000BASE-T/1000BASE-TX) up to a length of 100 meters. They offer improved performance over Cat 5e in terms of crosstalk and system noise reduction due to more stringent specifications for shielding and twisted pair designs. Cat 5e also supports Gigabit Ethernet but has higher chances of crosstalk compared to Cat 6, which makes Cat 6 the best choice for the given criteria. While optical fiber offers even higher speeds and reduced noise, it is not necessary for distances of 100 meters when Gigabit Ethernet is the required standard. Coaxial cable is generally used for cable Internet or digital TV instead of data networking for office use.
