Answer: Category 6 cable

Step-by-step explanation:

Category 6 cable also called Cat 6 is a standard form of twisted cable pair that is used in Ethernet as well as in other physical network layers that is compatible with the category 5/5e and Cat 3 standard backwards.

Cat 6 has a 500MHZ with better alien crosstalk feature which permits 10 GBASE - 1 to be run at 100 meters maximum which is the same distance at which other Ethernet variants are run.

Cat 6 cable is used in cabling infrastructure such as 10BASE-T (Ethernet) 100BASE-TX (fast ethernet) etc.
