What is the maximum speed of CAT5e cable?

  1. 10 Gbps

  2. 1 Gbps

  3. 100 Mbps

  4. 250 MHz

The correct answer is: 1 Gbps

While CAT5e cable is capable of supporting 10 Gbps and has a frequency of 250 MHz, it's maximum speed is actually 1 Gbps. This is due to various factors such as cable length, signal interference, and network equipment limitations. Option A is incorrect because it lists the maximum data rate rather than the maximum speed. Option C is incorrect because it is the maximum speed of CAT5 cable, not CAT5e. Option D is incorrect because it refers to the frequency of the cable, which can affect its performance but is not indicative of its maximum speed.
