Which statement about the 1000Base-T standard is correct regarding cabling?

The network uses copper UTP cables
The network uses hybrid cabling
The network is limited to wireless transmissions
The network requires shielded coaxial cables

The correct answer is: The network uses copper UTP cables

The statement indicating that the network uses copper UTP cables is correct because the 1000Base-T standard, which is part of the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards, specifies the use of unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables for facilitating gigabit Ethernet connections. This standard operates over four pairs of wires in the UTP cables, enabling the transmission of data at a rate of 1 Gbps (Gigabits per second) over distances up to 100 meters. In contrasting this with the other statements, hybrid cabling would imply the use of different types of cabling in combination, which is not a characteristic of the 1000Base-T standard. The reference to wireless transmissions is inaccurate as 1000Base-T specifically deals with wired Ethernet technology, not wireless communication. Lastly, shielded coaxial cables are not utilized in this standard; rather, coaxial cables are prevalent in older network technology and specific applications, but they do not align with the 1000Base-T specifications.
