IEEE 802.3ab defines Gigabit ethernet transmission over unshielded twisted pair (UTP) category 5, 5e or 6 cabling known as a) 1000BASE - T b) 1000 BASE-SX c) 1000 BASE-LX d) 1000 BASE-CX
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the specific IEEE standard that defines Gigabit Ethernet transmission over certain types of unshielded twisted pair cabling. It provides multiple-choice options to identify which one correctly matches this definition.
Answer
1000BASE-T
The final answer is 1000BASE-T
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is 1000BASE-T
More Information
IEEE 802.3ab, adopted in 1999, establishes the specifications for 1000BASE-T, which is a Gigabit Ethernet standard using unshielded twisted pair cables, such as Cat5, 5e, or 6.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the standards with those using fiber optic cables, like 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-LX, which are not for UTP cabling.
