What is the cable speed standard of CAT4 cable?

  1. 100 Mbps

  2. 10 Mbps

  3. 16 Mbps

  4. 1 Gbps

The correct answer is: 16 Mbps

CAT4 cable has a speed standard of 16 Mbps, which stands for megabits per second. This is different from the other options which have either a lower or higher speed standard. Option A, 100 Mbps, is too high for a CAT4 cable. Option B, 10 Mbps, is too low for a CAT4 cable. Option D, 1 Gbps, is too high as CAT4 cables are not capable of reaching this speed. Therefore, the correct answer is C, 16 Mbps.
