In Unit Grade 2 residential cabling, what is the minimum at each outlet location?

• A. Three Cat5e four-pair UTP cables
• B. Two Cat5e four-pair UTP (Cat6 recommended) and two 75-ohm coaxial cables
• C. One Cat5e four-pair UTP and two coax
• D. Two Cat3 two-pair UTP and one coax

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is that residential outlets under Unit Grade 2 must provide both data paths and video paths. Two Cat5e four-pair UTP drops give you separate data conduits—enough for multiple devices or networks, with Cat6 recommended to keep pace with higher speeds as your network grows. Pairing those with two 75-ohm coaxial cables supplies RF/video feeds at the same outlet, which is common for cable TV or antenna distribution in homes. Put together, this setup ensures a flexible, future-proof outlet that can carry wired Ethernet and TV/video signals from the same location. The other options either skip a required data drop, rely on outdated cabling, or omit the coax paths, so they don’t meet the minimum needs described.
