Which type of cable supports speeds up to 10 Gbps at distances up to 100 meters?

Correct answer: Cat 6a

Option C is correct because Cat 6a (augmented Category 6) is specifically designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) at distances up to 100 meters, making it the standard choice for 10 Gbps runs at full length. Option A is incorrect because Cat 6 also supports 10 Gbps but only at reduced distances of up to 55 meters, not the full 100 meters. Option B is incorrect because Cat 5e is rated for 1 Gbps at 100 meters and does not reliably support 10 Gbps. Option D is incorrect because Cat 5 is limited to 100 Mbps at 100 meters and is entirely unsuitable for 10 Gbps.
