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 twisted-pair network cabling and is the standard for Ethernet connections, including Gigabit Ethernet. It is used with cables like Cat 5e or Cat 6 to achieve these speeds. The RJ11 connector is smaller and primarily used for telephone lines. The F-type connector is a coaxial connector used for cable television and modems. Plenum is not a connector but a type of cable rating that indicates fire resistance for use in air circulation spaces.
