My Cisco Press CCNA Intro book says that Cat5 supports 1000MB.
I took the ICND Module 1 CCNA Prep Center sample exam and when I answered that Cat5 supported 1000MB I got the question wrong.
So when I take the test for real I want to get this right. Will it be 100MB or 1000MB?
I've been getting conflicting answers from several sources.

Hi,
CAT 5 cable supports 10/100Mbps Ethernet, i.e, Ethernet and Fast Ethernet.
CAT 5e cable supports 10/100/1000Mbps, i.e, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet.

And also notice that its "Mb" and not "MB".
The Big "B" and the small "b" makes a lot of difference.
In our case "Ethernet" its "Mb".

dhananjoychowdhury, do you have a source?
Are you sure about your conclusion?
This document from ieee appears to contradict you http://ieee802.org/3/ab/public/criteria.pdf
