Ethernet cards support data transfer rates in the range of:
A10 Mbps to 1 Gbps
B1 Kbps to 10 Kbps
C1 Gbps to 100 Gbps
D10 bps to 100 bps
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 10 Mbps to 1 Gbps
1. The Ethernet card, or Network Interface Card, is the adapter used to set up a wired network.
2. It is a circuit board mounted on the motherboard and connects the machine to the cable.
3. Ethernet cards can support data transfer between 10 Mbps and 1 Gbps.
4. 1 Gbps is the same as 1000 Mbps, which is why gigabit ethernet carries that name.
5. The other ranges are far outside what the standard defines.
