A company is expanding its office and setting up workstations for graphic designers who frequently transfer large 4K video files over the network. Which of the following Ethernet cable types would be the BEST to use for the new workstations to ensure high-speed and reliable data transfer?
Cat 6 (shielded)
Cat 6a
Cat 5e
Cat 5
Cat 6a cable supports frequencies up to 500 MHz and can carry 10 Gbps Ethernet up to 100 meters, providing the headroom and reduced crosstalk needed for large 4K video file transfers. Cat 6 (even when shielded) can handle 10 Gbps only to about 55 meters, making it less reliable for typical office runs. Cat 5e tops out at roughly 1 Gbps, and Cat 5 is limited to 100 Mbps, so both are inadequate for this bandwidth-intensive workload.
