An employee is attempting to project a presentation from a laptop that has only one small, square-shaped port, but the projector available in the conference room requires a larger, more common digital video interface. What accessory should the employee use to facilitate the connection?
A purely digital audio/video interface cable, ignoring the laptop's specific output port size and shape.
A USB-A to HDMI converter.
An Ethernet cable to connect both devices through network ports.
An adapter that converts the laptop's output to a widely-used audio/video interface.
The scenario describes a mismatch between the laptop's video output port (likely a Mini DisplayPort or USB-C) and the projector's input port (likely HDMI). The correct solution is an adapter that physically connects the two different ports and converts the signal if necessary. An adapter that converts the laptop's specific output to a common interface like HDMI is the required accessory. Ethernet cables are for network connections, not direct video projection in this manner. A cable must physically match the ports on both ends, so ignoring the port's size and shape is not a viable solution. A USB-A to HDMI converter would not work, as the question specifies a different 'small, square-shaped port' for the video output.
