A technician needs to connect a mobile device featuring a Lightning port to a laptop that is only equipped with USB-C ports. Which of the following is required to establish a connection between the two devices?
Lightning is a proprietary connector from Apple, while USB-C is an industry standard. The two ports are physically and electrically incompatible. To connect a device with a Lightning port to a device with a USB-C port, a specific adapter or a cable with a Lightning connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other is necessary. A standard USB-C cable or adapters for other USB types like micro-USB or USB-A would not fit or be electrically compatible for this purpose.
