A small office is setting up their local area network and they need to physically connect desktop computers to their network switch. Which of the following cable types is the BEST option for enabling these connections?
The Ethernet connector (RJ-45) is the correct answer because it is commonly used to connect wired network devices like desktop computers to a switch or router, facilitating network communication. RJ-11, while also used for physical connectivity, is generally intended for telephone connections, not data networking. HDMI and USB are not conventionally used for network connections to switches.
