CompTIA A+ 220-1101 Practice Question

An Ethernet connection using a Cat 6 cable is the best choice as it supports up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 55 meters, making it ideal for faster data transfer speeds within an office environment. Cat 5e also supports Gigabit Ethernet, but not as high as 10 Gigabit, and a USB connection often won’t give the same consistent high-speed network performance that a direct Ethernet connection would. Thunderbolt, although capable of high speeds, is typically used for direct device-to-device connections rather than network infrastructure, making it less compatible with networked environments.
