A technician needs to connect a fax machine in an office that uses analog phone lines. Which connector type should the technician use to ensure the machine is properly connected to the telephone network?
RJ11 connectors are traditionally used for connecting devices to analog telephone lines in both residential and office settings. RJ11 connectors typically have 4 or 6 pin designs and are narrower than the RJ45 connectors used for networking, thus making them suitable for telephone grade wiring where multiple lines are unnecessary. Using RJ45 connectors would not be appropriate here since they are designed for network cabling, not telephone lines. In contrast, F-type connectors are primarily used with coaxial cables in television installations and satellite connections, which is unrelated to analog telephone line connections.
