What is the maximum data rate supported by standard Ethernet (10BASE-T)?
A100 Mbps
B10 Mbps
C1 Gbps
D10 Gbps
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand Ethernet speed standards

    Standard Ethernet, also called 10BASE-T, supports a speed of 10 megabits per second.

  2. Step 2: Compare given options with standard speeds

    Among the options, only 10 Mbps matches the standard Ethernet speed.

  3. Final Answer:

    10 Mbps -> Option B

  4. Quick Check:

    Standard Ethernet speed = 10 Mbps [OK]
Quick Trick: Standard Ethernet speed is 10 Mbps, remember '10BASE-T' [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing 10 Mbps with 100 Mbps
  • Mixing Ethernet with Fast Ethernet
  • Assuming Gigabit Ethernet speed
