A technician is adding a workstation to a Local Area Network (LAN) that requires a wired connection capable of Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Which of the following connector types should the technician use to connect the workstation's network interface card to the switch?
The RJ45 connector is used for network cabling and is suitable for Ethernet connections, including Gigabit Ethernet. The RJ45 connector is utilized with twisted-pair cabling, such as Cat5e or Cat6, which are capable of supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Other connectors listed either have different purposes (such as the RJ11, which is used in telephony) or are not actual cable connectors (such as Plenum, which refers to a cable rating rather than a connector type).
