An IT support technician needs to replace a defective network interface card in an office workstation. When selecting a replacement card, which feature should be considered to ensure it can support enhanced network speed requirements?
1000Base-T compatibility
Built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE)
10Base-T compatibility
802.11ac wireless capability
To support enhanced network speeds, particularly for gigabit networks, the network interface card (NIC) should support 1000Base-T, which offers speeds up to 1000 Mbps over copper twisted pair cabling. A NIC with only 10Base-T or 100Base-TX support would provide maximum speeds of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, respectively, which are lower than the gigabit speeds required. Therefore, a NIC supporting 1000Base-T is necessary for enhanced network speeds.
